Hey — it's Rames
My brother is visiting us in Morocco. It was his birthday on Sunday, and we had a nice little weekend:
- Saturday: camping in the desert — we barbecued like real chefs under a fabulous starry night.
- Sunday: we went karting and won every race. The last one was a duel between him and me, and it looked more like Mario Kart as we almost destroyed our karts, not with blue shells, but by bumping into each other at full speed.
It's nice spending time together and always fun to receive people in our small home and friendly village 🇲🇦
3 Tips
1/ Notion Button Property
Notion is on FIRE 🔥🔥🔥
2024 has hardly started, and they have already shipped a brand new app (Notion Calendar), dozens of new features, and now... a new database property!
The button property works similarly to a classic Notion button (the ones you add inside a page) and is already linked to your database.

2/ Autofill select properties with AI
Another killer update from the Notion team: use AI to autofill your select and multi-select properties! Based on the content of your database, Notion can automatically assign, but also create new tags for database items.
Like other AI properties, you can:
- Autofill all pages at once
- Auto-update on page edits

3/ Ask Notion API
This one is for all the automation nerds out there. Ask Notion API is a GPT that will help you make the most of Notion's API. It has digested Notion API Docs and many GitHub repos that are using Notion API.
I haven't tried it personally yet, but I'm happy to see these kinds of GPTs in the store!
