A couple of years ago, I started a photography business. It flopped at first, but eventually picked up. As the client list grew, so did the admin work, and managing it all became a real bottleneck.
I've picked the business back up, built out a photography portfolio, and created a custom Notion agent to handle the busywork.
Meet Slate - a custom Notion agent that takes in all my bookings, tracks them in my client database, drafts emails to clients, and keeps everything up to date through delivery.
Here’s a demo walking you through how it works:

Most content ideas are fake. Not because creators are lazy — because they start from the wrong question. "What should I post?" instead of "What did I actually go through this week?" 💭
So I built an agent that solves exactly that. It's called Real Story Content Ideas — every morning at 9 AM it digs through your Notion workspace and finds the stories already sitting there: in your journal, your completed tasks, your notes. But also your emails, your Slack messages, and anything else you decide to connect. Things you lived, not things you invented.
Three ideas. Each one tied to a real source you can go back and verify. And if you already covered a similar angle before, it knows — and skips it.
You can also just ask it directly, whenever. "Give me ideas about last week's client project." Done.
Honestly the best content you have is probably already written. You just haven't looked at it that way yet. 💯

Even though I don't speak Italian, it was fun to watch your video!
I built Designa — an AI agent that turns raw ideas into full product systems.
Just type anywhere in Notion using @Designa — even messy or rough input — and it generates UX, FigJam diagrams, and UI instantly.
→ Idea → UX → Diagram → UI
→ Works with unstructured input
→ Reusable across any workflow

your meeting notes are useless if they don't turn into action! here's how notion fixed that for me!
i built a custom notion agent that reads my AI meeting notes and = creates tasks in my task management database. no copy-paste & no dropped action items.
here's a quick video walking through exactly how it works + how to build one for your own freelance workflow 👇
happy building for the Notion x Contra custom buildathon 🥂
An AI agent that auto-converts meeting notes to tasks in Notion — this is genuinely brilliant and I need this workflow!
