I would not use this without a SOC 2 Type 2 compliance at the very least. Especially when email is involved and Notion-mail reads your from, to, body and saves it in its data centers. The compliance information is also contradictory. The webpage says mail is SOC 2 Type 1 compliant, while the FAQ says

"Is Notion Mail SOC 2 compliant?"

"While Notion Mail is not currently SOC 2 compliant, we expect Notion Mail to be SOC 2 Type I compliant by GA launch."

Either the FAQ or the landing page needs an update.

I tried out an early version when I did some work at notion last year, just tried it again and it's honestly a lot better than I expected. The design is good as expected from a notion product, but it's actually lot snappier than I thought. Faster than the notion app lol. It's probably a consequence of not having too much legacy code, but still impressive nevertheless! Esp in a world of slow nextjs apps lol. Vibe wise, it kinda feels kinda like superhuman but 0 instead of $30/mo lol.

Tbh, I can also kinda see the vision that notion is pitching to investors now - the entire productivity suite, but redesigned and enhanced with AI. I'm not a power user of email/calendar by any means, but find myself using their calendar and mail client. I have no doubt the next generation of Tiktok girlies will eat this up like crazy. I don't use much of their AI stuff, but can also see how business can really find it useful.

GJ Notion team!

I really hate when someone screams AI to promote a product. The word is like a catch-all to mean “does cool things”. And that never helps me trust the product or infomercial.

Now AI is hard to describe… BUT DESCRIBE WE MUST. maybe “summarize emails with AI” or “fetch relevant emails to this one with AI” or “get possible responses with AI”. At some point, do you think we can remove *with-AI™?

Am I just too paranoid about email?

Since Google has all my email, I am not willing to give any other company access to it. It's bad enough that I already rely on Google, mostly for historical reasons, but they at least take security as one of their top priorities. Sure, the three letter agencies might have a copy, even if I'm a "good guy", but I assume that at least they won't sell the data?

I hoped to get my @notion mailbox, but turns out it's just a Gmail client.
