Notion Clone with AI & Live Collaboration
Overview
A modern note-taking application inspired by Notion, with built-in AI features and real-time multi-user collaboration. Users can chat with their documents, generate automatic summaries, translate content on the fly, and co-edit alongside teammates in real time — all behind a secure authentication layer. Outcome: A production-ready Notion alternative that combines familiar note-taking ergonomics with modern AI document intelligence.
