Notion Mail is a minimalist and text-based take on the Mail app that isn't trying to do anything revolutionary. There are no AI summaries, and no complicated split views like in Superhuman. It's just your email, sorted in a way that you like.
Notion Mail is the latest product from Notion Labs, which is known for its extremely customizable note taking app. Every note in Notion starts with a blank page, but can be customized with blocks, tables, images and more. Some people even turn it into a database, as Notion makes it easy to link one page to another.
Notion is free to use for individual users, but charges $10 per month per user for businesses. Plus there's the $10 per month cost for Notion AI, which I'll come back to below. Essentially, Notion Mail aims to take the same minimalist approach of the note-taking app, and apply it to email.

It's all about AI Auto Labels
Notion isn't rocking the boat with its mail app, but its selling point is the Auto Label feature, which is coupled with the sidebar's Views feature. Let's talk about the Views first.
But you can go in and create a new View at any time. Notion has some templates ready to go from the start, but the easiest way to go about it is to use a prompt and the AI Auto Label feature.

Don't worry: Notion will ask you to approve any labels before applying them. If it's gotten something wrong, you can remove that email, or add in an email that the system overlooked.

So you can't use it to sort out all your invoices from Amazon in the past year in one View. For that, you'd still need to use Gmail search, or another AI like Shortwave. Though, you can create a View for all incoming Amazon emails and invoices, so your future emails will at least be all set.

And once that happens, you'll have to either wait for the next month to get more free AI credits, or pay up the $10/month for unlimited usage. When you run out of free Notion AI credits, the Auto Labels feature will stop working, and the button with have a Red icon on it, too. The same goes for AI writing features.
A Notion wrapper for Gmail
But when it comes to AI, it's still a developing story. AI writing tools are now pretty standard in almost every email app, so whether Notion will appeal to you depends on how much you like to label your email, and how interested you are in some AI help with that. For something more complex, try Shortwave, which offers free and paid plans and offers some more robust AI inbox integration. It's less minimal, but also far more powerful.
