# DESIGN.md — Notion

> Warm minimalism with serif headings, hand-drawn illustration and soft paper surfaces — friendly, editorial software.
> Distilled by design.live · Productivity · notion.so
> Agent prompt: "Use the design.live MCP and make it look like Notion."

## Brand context
The AI workspace that works for you.

Notion builds an AI-native workspace for teams and knowledge workers to plan work, manage projects, and centralize docs and databases, with “Notion agents” that capture knowledge, answer questions using your existing content, and automate repetitive workflows while you sleep. Its differentiator is bringing work and AI into one integrated platform—combining knowledge base, enterprise search, and custom agent automation so you can reduce tool sprawl and keep projects moving in the background.

Audiences:
- Individuals using productivity and knowledge tools for personal projects and life organization
- Small teams and professionals collaborating on shared docs, databases, and projects
- Enterprise teams managing secure knowledge sharing and operations across departments

Evidence returned by the MCP is deduplicated, ranked for the request, and linked to source and permission provenance. Counts reflect the canonical evidence-store snapshot, not invented adoption or asset totals. Screen imagery is delivered through authenticated, metered MCP calls; it is not distributed on public pages.

## Retrieval
Ask the design.live MCP for the project brief, constraints, and desired Notion qualities. It returns ranked evidence and an agent-ready implementation plan; do not copy a source screen wholesale.
