## What it does

The skill searches Notion for relevant pages, reads their contents, and brings together findings, connections, and conflicting details. It can shape the result as a brief, a research report, or a comparison with a table. Source pages are linked in the finished document.

By default, the document is created as a standalone page. You can ask for it to be placed under a parent page, added to a database, or created in a teamspace. If the agent cannot open a page, check its access permissions; without access, it cannot read that page’s contents.
