Confirmed means the vendor documents it (linked). It doesn't mean IonBin has tested it. AI-platform and human steps need no source.

Human approval

An owner reviews sources monthly.

Watch out for

Stale sources give confident outdated answers. Remove old versions when you add new ones.

Which AI platforms can run it

PlatformStatusWhy
Claude (incl. Claude Code) Confirmed No platform-specific connection: the steps run in the tools themselves (browser, upload or built-in).
OpenAI Codex Confirmed No platform-specific connection: the steps run in the tools themselves (browser, upload or built-in).
Google Antigravity Confirmed No platform-specific connection: the steps run in the tools themselves (browser, upload or built-in).

Gemini Confirmed No platform-specific connection: the steps run in the tools themselves (browser, upload or built-in).
Perplexity Confirmed No platform-specific connection: the steps run in the tools themselves (browser, upload or built-in).

Computed from the MCP and API steps only: "Confirmed" needs the tool's docs to name the platform and the platform to support the connection. Browser, upload and human steps work from any platform.

What we checked (2026-10-17)

Notion can export any non-database page as a Markdown file, and full-page databases as CSV with Markdown files for each subpage. Gemini Notebook accepts Markdown, PDF, Word and text files, Google Docs and web URLs as sources. Google’s Workspace page suggests this exact use: upload training manuals, guides, policies and FAQs so new hires can find information buried in long documents, with citations for verification. Google’s plans page lists advanced sharing as a paid feature, so check your plan before you share a notebook with a team.

Set it up

  1. Export the SOPs, product docs and FAQs a new hire needs from Notion as Markdown.
  2. Create a notebook, add the files, and remove any older versions.
  3. Share it with new teammates and tell them to open the citation behind any answer they act on.
  4. Once a month, review what people asked, fix the gaps in the SOPs in Notion, and re-export.
