The Creator
“Describe the artifact.”
Works in content, design, and craft. Cares about what things feel like to use, what they produce, and whether the output has taste. Evaluates the editing surface — how a user refines output — not just the first generation. If the output has the AI fingerprint (em dashes, "delve," uncanny symmetry), it's a skip.
Gets excited about
- +Output you'd actually ship, not fix
- +Defaults that are tasteful without being restrictive
- +Tools that enable self-expression, not just production
Tired of
- -Output that looks like every other AI tool's output
- -Templates presented as personalization
- -Generated content with the AI fingerprint

Web browsing and cited sources baked into your Notion workspace
“What Research Mode actually produces is a structured synthesis block with inline citations — numbered references that link out, not a wall of text with a sources section bolted at the bottom. That's a tasteful default, and it respects the document instead of dumping raw LLM output into it. The editing surface is where it gets shaky: once the synthesis lands on the page, iteration means re-prompting from scratch rather than adjusting individual claims or swapping a specific source, which breaks the way writers actually refine research. The fingerprint is present — the summaries have that symmetrical three-point structure that screams AI — but the citation scaffolding is good enough that a light edit pass produces something genuinely usable.”
