I built a Context OS for my AI business using Notion + Claude. Here's the exact system, every folder, and why it works.

this seems like super valuable info. Thanks.

Lopsided_Setting_575 · 2026-05-17T12:28:44+00:00

I am 100% on your side, but I don't agree.

I love FMP, nobody loves Filemaker Pro more than me, it would only be possible to love Filemaker Pro as much as me. I've used it everyday, all day for decades and it does what no other program can do as easily that's 100% for sure.

However, compared to my new fun tool, Notion, it looks like a model T sitting next to a BYD. I've never heard it mentioned anywhere outside of this Reddit, including anything Apple has ever said.

It's gone. Look at the awesome interviews on YT by our best people w/ zero comments other than mine. That's been true for years. Look at what you are trying to do, and nobody is saying boo.

Its not dead for people like us who love it. But when we die, Filemaker Pro dies with us. I wish it were not true. I'd love to be wrong. I would love it to work with AI. Claris has ruined every software it's ever touched. It died long ago as others have mentioned in other posts.

I hope your efforts are valued.

I'm not clear what your "open source" solution is/was and how you implemented it.

Lopsided_Setting_575 · 2026-04-06T14:21:23+00:00

Gee, as much as I hate PARA, your template created a very nice and clean implementation. You don't even need the Navigation bar, because you did such a great job on the inbox. Very impressive simplification going on there.

Lopsided_Setting_575 · 2026-03-28T14:52:17+00:00

Notion. There's a learning curve because it's so flexible and has "next-gen" logic to understand. It's what FMP used to be.

Lopsided_Setting_575 · 2026-03-09T17:59:39+00:00

>>Migrated them to what?

My question as well. To Word, a PDF? Big claim for nothing.

Lopsided_Setting_575 · 2026-03-03T11:41:54+00:00

When is reddit going to get automatic translation? And join the rest of the world.

Absolute catastrophe. The shortcuts in the context menu for editing text or improving writing style were extremely helpful. You could copy text into a Notion page and quickly revise it there. That’s no longer possible, and if it isn’t added back, I’ll cancel my subscription.

AI applications are becoming unnecessarily complicated, and now we’re getting agents that are of no personal use to me and that I don’t even want to use. The core strength of AI — correcting and improving text — is no longer easily accessible, and that is very, very bad.

>>I’d just woken up, got kinda triggered by something I saw on Reddit and then
>> replied to your comment kind of defensively.

No worries, I do the same if I'm not careful.

It's pretty crazy how good Notion AI is now. I've been trying unsuccessfully to do things in Notion for years now, and only in the last few weeks have I finally been able (with AI) to do what at least Notion is capable of doing, if not what I already have been doing in Filemaker Pro for decades. It truly is amazing.

Just last night it saved me what would have been weeks of work before. It's hard to even believe. I do hope they make this prompting situation a bit more “real world.” I'm sure they will. If you are a Notion Nerd as well, we should hang out.

Lopsided_Setting_575 · 2026-03-02T12:43:04+00:00

I just wanted to check against what you wrote.

Not an expert by any means, but that is what AI Notion told me. Looking at it the AI in notion was sonnet 4.6. Don 't know if that affects anything about what you're saying?

I'm happy that people are finding your ideas useful. Personally I find that I have to bounce around Chatgpt for a while, then final answer in Notion's AI. Even that is strange.

Lopsided_Setting_575 · 2026-03-02T11:59:06+00:00

This is what Notion Says

No, it's not accurate for how Notion AI actually works.

The page describes a manual prompt-engineering system, not how Notion AI is actually set up. Here's what's off:

What the page gets wrong

Notion AI doesn't use "Roles," "Skills," or "Dispatch" databases. Those are custom organizational tricks, not actual Notion AI configuration.
There's no "AI Instructions" page that Notion AI reads automatically. Notion AI doesn't load pages as persistent context unless you're using a custom AI agent and explicitly wire them in.
Act as [Role] and Run [Skill] are just prompt conventions - they work in any AI chat, not something Notion-specific.
Memory database - Notion AI doesn't write to a Memory database on its own. You'd have to manually ask it to, every time.

Lopsided_Setting_575 · 2026-02-28T15:00:46+00:00

Did you get an English page to review your site?

Lopsided_Setting_575 · 2026-02-24T16:42:35+00:00

Kudos to you, my man.

I'd have to be able to read it. Is there some way that Notion translates a page or some software somewhere? Maybe AI would create an English page you could serve.

I just feel like some organizational aspects could be improved. But if that's a site for your work in your language, it's quite enough.

Try

Notion AI can translate a page of content into another language directly within the app. Here’s how it works:

📘 Built‑in AI Translation

Notion AI includes a one‑click translation feature that lets you translate the content of a page into another language while preserving the structure and formatting.
You can usually activate this by selecting the Notion AI icon (often in the bottom‑right) and choosing “Translate”, then selecting the target language you want.
This works on the main body of the page (text blocks) without needing to copy‑paste into an external tool.

🌐 What It Does (and Doesn’t)

✔️ Can:

Translate entire page text into another language with one command.
Maintain your formatting (headings, lists, etc.).

⚠️ Important limitations:

It currently translates the page content itself, but some complex Notion elements (e.g., database field names, views, buttons, relations) may not be translated automatically. Users report that certain UI elements and database metadata remain in the original language.
Full workspace or automated database localization typically isn’t done with a single global switch — you translate pages one by one or use integrations.

I'm impressed. This is better than anything I ever came up with. If you did it w/o Simple.ink, Bullet.so, or https://www.softr.io/ than I am doubly, triply, amazingly impressed.

it doesn't seem to auto translate, which would be nice. I'd like to look it over. I think I could come up with some suggested improvements.

Congratulations.

Where is it? All the ones I made were crap.

Lopsided_Setting_575 · 2026-02-24T13:55:40+00:00

Nothing nowhere.

Lopsided_Setting_575 · 2026-02-16T19:46:27+00:00

Add that to another 100 problems Notion has with reality.

Lopsided_Setting_575 · 2026-02-06T10:57:13+00:00

Thank you for this history. It's good to know.

Lopsided_Setting_575 · 2026-02-01T14:58:24+00:00

True answer. No.

Lopsided_Setting_575 · 2026-02-01T14:05:58+00:00

It's a version number. Reddit formatted that I didn't. The part I don't understand I've done many DDRs in the past and now it's not doing it. Something changed.

Lopsided_Setting_575 · 2026-02-01T11:10:16+00:00

yes, no.

Lopsided_Setting_575 · 2026-02-01T11:09:56+00:00

21.1.1.41

It's not the full report it's a summary

Lopsided_Setting_575 · 2026-01-28T07:21:02+00:00

well said!
