Notion is preparing to launch a series of AI personalization features aimed at helping users better tailor the Notion AI experience to fit their personal or team workflows. According to the upcoming version, these personalization tools will appear directly within the Notion AI interface, and users can set them up through a new "Personalization" button.

On this interface, users can set a custom avatar for their AI assistant, give it a name, and most importantly, configure detailed behavior instructions. These instructions can be selected from predefined templates such as "Assistant," "Minimalist," or "Analyst," or they can be built from scratch according to individual needs. In addition, users can browse and use new AI assistant personalization templates in the Notion marketplace, providing an opportunity for the powerful template-building community of Notion to share or sell custom AI assistant personalizations.

This move aligns with Notion's overall product strategy, transforming its workspace into a highly flexible and user-driven platform where users and teams can adjust tools according to their needs. Notion has already achieved success with its template system, and bringing similar ideas into AI assistant customization will further expand users' operational capabilities, especially for those who run workflows on web and mobile devices.

Notion's approach in this area is unique: personalized instructions will be saved on editable Notion pages (imagine something like "AGENTS.md," but specific to Notion). Users can define the "identity" of the assistant, its communication style, and a dynamic "memory" section, which the AI will update based on feedback given during chats. This memory update feature, managed in an editable bullet-point format, is not available in similar tools such as OpenAI's GPT or Google's Gemini Gems. For builders and creators, this provides new opportunities to monetize personalized assistants, further expanding Notion's role as a center for knowledge and workflow automation.

Notion plans to showcase these features during its keynote speech on September 18th. Early evidence suggests that these new features will cover both the web and mobile versions, and more detailed information is expected to be released during the event. For users who are already building and sharing Notion templates, the ability to build and market custom AI assistants will open up new creative and business opportunities, especially since Notion positions these AI engines as versatile, customizable assistants within the workspace ecosystem.
