A custom Notion AI turned a half-day weekly review into a 15 to 20 minute run

Anfernee @anferneeck · Singapore · Notion AI

What the agent did

NOVA, his custom agent built with Notion AI's custom instructions, reads his Notion workspace for the week and writes a structured weekly reflection with outputs, outcomes, an activity map, lessons and an infographic. For long jobs he adds "Apply COMPASS", a quality gate that makes it check and correct each step before moving on.

Result, as claimed

Weekly reflection: "For years it took half a day and still felt incomplete." Now: "The whole thing takes 15 to 20 minutes to generate." Long jobs: "My highest record was 50 tasks in one prompt."

This is the result as the person described it in public. It has not been checked and is not a typical outcome.

Try it yourself

A Notion AI prompt that reads your last week in Notion and writes a weekly reflection with a scoreboard, a next-week plan and an infographic.

Difficulty: Intermediate

Prompt

"Pull my Notion activity for the last 7 days using getUserActivity. Also pull the previous 2 weeks for comparison (21 days total lookback). Search my workspace for weekly review pages, task completions, and any project pages edited this week.

Build a weekly reflection that connects activity to outcomes. Be direct. Prioritize truth over comfort. Avoid generic advice. Ground your analysis in what you observe in my actual Notion activity, not assumptions. Cite the specific pages that support each claim." (Opening of Anfernee's prompt. The full prompt, with sections A to H from weekly output to the infographic, is in the post.)

Tools

  • Notion AI What Anfernee used, with a custom instructions page
  • Notion The workspace it reads. It only sees work that lives in Notion

Steps

  1. Set up your own Notion AI custom instructions page first. The post links Anfernee's guide to building NOVA.
  2. Copy the full weekly reflection prompt from the post into your instructions page or a linked sub-page.
  3. Replace [YOUR PREFERRED LOCATION] with the database where each weekly reflection should go.
  4. Type "My Week" (or any keyword you prefer) in Notion AI chat to run it.

Watch out: The scoreboard numbers are best estimates from your Notion activity, so check them against the pages it cites before you act on them.
