If it isn’t in your notes, it doesn’t appear.

Cited answers from your private notes
What you decided in March, and why. NoteNet answers from your vault and pins the sentence to a note and a line.
Personal notes stay in your account. No workspace sharing model. Retrieval is fenced to you.
Every claim carries a chip. Click it and you’re on the line. If it isn’t in your notes, it doesn’t appear.
Team workspace Q&A across pages and apps
Shared pages, comments, and a wiki the whole team edits. That’s Notion’s job — not NoteNet’s.
Ask across pages and connected apps in one workspace. NoteNet does not ingest Slack or Drive.
Company knowledge that lives in a team workspace. Notion AI is built for that corpus.
Line chips vs page sources
NoteNet — note + line
Each claim carries a chip to the note and the line. N04·L42 is not a footnote. Click it and you’re in the source. No source → that sentence doesn’t ship. The full walkthrough is on How citations work.
Notion AI — page / source
Notion AI cites workspace pages and connected sources. That’s the right grain for a team wiki. It is not line-level proof from a private personal vault.
Frequently asked questions
Is NoteNet a Notion alternative?
- Different job. Notion AI is workspace Q&A for teams — pages, wikis, and connected apps. NoteNet is your private notes answering back with note-and-line citations. If you need a shared wiki, stay on Notion. If you need cited answers from your own vault, use NoteNet.
Can I use both?

Does NoteNet train on my notes?
- No. Your notes are never used to train any model, ours or anyone else’s. Retrieval is fenced to your account. The architecture is on the Privacy page.
