Scibly vs. Notion AI. Notion AI answers from what your team has written. Scibly also captures what your experts know, and shows who knows what.
Two different approaches. Notion AI is a tool your team works in. Scibly adds a knowledge layer to the tools you already have, working in the background.
How Notion AI works
Notion AI is built into Notion, the workspace where many teams write docs, wikis and project plans. It answers questions from your Notion pages and, on the Business plan, from connected apps such as Slack, Google Drive, Jira and GitHub, with a citation for each answer. It also records meetings without a bot and runs agents that work through tasks in Notion. Other AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor can reach the workspace through Notion's MCP server.
How Scibly works
Scibly adds one central knowledge layer to the tools you already use. In the background, it brings together what's in documents, meetings and your people's experience, and links every piece of information to its source. Your team's AI tools can draw on this knowledge, always within each person's access rights. And because Scibly captures knowledge across the whole company, it also shows when important know-how sits with only one person.
Already using Notion? Scibly works alongside it.
Scibly doesn't replace Notion. It reads your Notion pages as one source, next to your other tools, meetings and Interviews. Notion's Custom Agents can connect to Scibly over MCP, so they can draw on your company's knowledge too, with a source for every statement.
What Scibly does differently. Four differences your team will notice in its first weeks.
01Knowledge that isn't written down anywhere
Notion AI works with what's already written: pages, meeting notes and the content of connected apps. Knowledge that only sits in your people's heads stays out of reach. Scibly holds short Interviews with your experts to capture exactly what's missing, and makes the answers available to the whole team, with the expert kept as the source.
02Knowledge and the people behind it
Notion's search finds pages, messages and files. It doesn't show who knows which topic. Scibly shows which knowledge sits with one person only, and how much your team relies on it. So you can hand it on before someone changes teams or leaves.
03Meetings as a source of team knowledge
Notion AI records meetings on your device without a bot and writes a summary with action items into a page. Scibly also turns the key decisions into shared knowledge, linked to the people, projects and topics involved. Weeks later, those decisions still count in answers about the topic, not only in that meeting's page.
04Linked across tools, not single pages
Notion AI finds pages and content from connected apps, and Notion itself notes it can struggle to bring together information from several apps. Scibly captures what they say as single facts, linked across your tools to the people and topics they belong to, each with its source. When something changes, the new state counts.
The key differences at a glance
| Scibly |  Notion AI | |
|---|---|---|
| Knowledge sources | Your tools, meetings and experts | Notion pages, meeting notes and connected apps |
| No new interface | Works in your existing AI tools | Notion AI inside Notion, plus an MCP server for other AI tools |
| Captures what your experts know | Makes undocumented knowledge accessible | No |
| Makes knowledge risks visible | Before important knowledge leaves the company | No |
| Connects your company's knowledge | People, topics and facts, each with its source | Searches pages and connected apps per question |
| Access rights | Carried over from your tools | Carried over from your tools |
| Getting started | A pilot with one team | Self-serve, connectors and agents from the Business plan |
| Hosting | EU | US by default, EU data residency on Enterprise |
Scibly is a strong fit if…
- your team's know-how lives in Slack threads, tickets and a few people's heads, not in the docs.
- you want to see which systems only one person really knows, before they switch teams or leave.
- your team already works with Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT or Copilot and doesn't want another platform.
- every answer your AI gives should name its source, so anyone can check it.
