Notion has garnered such an impressive community over the years that it only makes sense to help serve them well with native visualizations. Being able to take my database items and create data-driven stories that I can share with any team gives me an extra little superpower. I've personally had debates with people on whether notion is worth using as a database tool because of the lack of visualizations so this is a game changer!

All people love AI these days, so what Columns build with AI? πŸš€ Now, let me briefly introduce Columns from the angle of AI: Not a charting tool or BI tool. Columns will be the ultimate storyteller for your data! Columns use AI to - discover insights from your data. - understand your question in plain language. - beautify the design through theme, title, and summary generation. - upcoming: generate playback of explainer for your data story. All in one canvas! πŸ”₯ Check out those AI features and see how they seamlessly work with your Notion databases!

Does anybody love the world map? I can't stop playing with all the coloring schemes to style a world map, and this world map is just released 2 days ago before we launch on PH. So love to share a 2-minutes video for your reference: https://youtu.be/beBXSJhi8dM

- Columns for Notion is a tool that allows you to display data seemingly, using columns to organize and filter information combined with AI. - You can customize columns and add filters to create dynamic and interactive views of your data. This tool is especially useful for project management, data analysis, and content creation. -With Columns for Notion, you can easily visualize and analyze complex information to make more informed decisions. I have a lot of business numbering systems and wanted to find a visual solution. Not only that, it needs to have a user-friendly interface. So glad I found it.

I tried it and I can't stop playing around with the color schemes! Will there be any possibilities to add clickable links or call outs in the project soon? It would be nice to add comments on it for other people's reference. :)
Shawn Cao
@ijchael Thanks JC. yeah, clickable links sound like a good idea, please add a feature request here https://columns.canny.io/ if you can. Regarding "callouts", will annotations/auto labels work for you? They are all available on the right pane next to the graph. For example, here is a call out with the label - https://columns.ai/visual/view/N...

From what I have gathered, Columns AI for Notion seems like an impressive tool to help you visualize and manage your Notion databases with ease. By connecting your Notion database to Columns, you can effortlessly create and embed interactive visualizations of your data that are automatically updated in real-time as you make changes. These features seem incredibly useful for anyone who needs to keep track of data from different sources in a centralized location. While I haven’t tried it myself, the functionality and benefits provided by this tool appear promising.
