    No mandatory core here. These become useful based on your workflow.

    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions.

    Do you use ChatGPT Projects or Claude Projects for your recurring topics?

    No → you re-explain the same context every session. 20 minutes to set up a Project per client or topic = context you build over weeks, not isolated sessions.

    Do you have Notion AI active but not use Notion as your main note-taking tool?

    Yes → do not pay for an add-on to a tool you rarely open. Notion AI only has value on the notes you actually create there.

    Are your Otter transcripts linked to your Notion notes from the same meeting?

    No → a simple Make scenario (Otter → Notion) automatically imports the summary and action items into the corresponding page. 10 minutes of setup for a daily gain.
