Developers and advanced users can be blind to these bugs because they're used to performing the non-intuitive workarounds required to get around them. Humans have a high ability to ignore the negatives in things they like. Being open to criticism can help developers notice more flaws in their work

How to create a project intelligence database with Notion AI
Photo: Notion
Open Notion, create a new page, choose Table, then select Build with AI.
Ask Notion AI to create a project database with fields like Project, Owner, Status, Due Date, Priority, Summary, Risks, and Keywords.
Sample prompt: “Create a project tracker for my team with Project, Owner, Status, Due Date, Priority, Summary, Risks, and Keywords. I want AI to help summarize each project and surface potential risks from the information stored in each project page.”
Add each project as a database entry and place relevant briefs, notes, decisions, and updates inside its page.
For Summary, open the property settings and choose AI Autofill > Basic > Summary.
Use AI Autofill for Keywords and other structured fields you want Notion to extract automatically.
For fields like Risks or Priority, use AI Autofill > Custom Agent with instructions such as: “Identify the biggest current risk and classify priority as High, Medium, or Low.”
Set AI properties to update manually, when pages change, or on a schedule so the database stays current.
