📓 Notion Integration¶

Notion doesn't have official plugin support, but you can integrate AI through various methods.

Method 1: API + Custom Scripts¶

Build custom AI features using Notion's API and stdapi.ai.

import os
from notion_client import Client
from openai import OpenAI

# Initialize Notion client
notion = Client(auth=os.environ["NOTION_TOKEN"])

# Initialize OpenAI client with stdapi.ai
client = OpenAI(
    api_key=os.environ["STDAPI_KEY"],
    base_url="https://YOUR_SERVER_URL/v1"
)

def summarize_page(page_id):
    # Get page content from Notion
    page = notion.blocks.children.list(block_id=page_id)

    # Extract text content
    content = extract_text(page)

    # Summarize with AI
    response = client.chat.completions.create(
        model="anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929-v1:0",
        messages=[{
            "role": "user",
            "content": f"Summarize this note:\n\n{content}"
        }]
    )

    # Add summary back to Notion
    summary = response.choices[0].message.content
    notion.blocks.children.append(
        block_id=page_id,
        children=[{
            "object": "block",
            "type": "callout",
            "callout": {
                "rich_text": [{"type": "text", "text": {"content": summary}}],
