Specific Notion AI × podcasters pitfalls

Pitfall 1: delegating the decision to AI. Notion AI produces, you decide. Especially true for podcasters, whose value lies in judgment.

Pitfall 2: publishing without editing. Raw output is a draft. Always. Edit 30% minimum.

Pitfall 3: pasting confidential data into the free tier. For anything client-related, Team/Enterprise tier required.

Pitfall 4: not fact-checking. Notion AI can hallucinate on numbers, dates, citations. Always verify factual claims in an official source.
