Here is my bold prediction - Microsoft will try acquire Notion within a year.

Notion seems have a lot of hype lately, and Microsoft tries to be king of the hill when it comes to productivity apps, buying tools encroaching upon their turf of Outlook and Excel (6 Wunderkinder, Yammer, Ally.io) or competing vigorously if they cant buy them (Teams). Seems like this Notion v3 could tip it over the edge into full blown productivity powerhouse.

Microsoft do already have their own Notion ripoff/inspired product (Loop) though. It is a bit half-assed and the development pace is glacial so perhaps a new team behind it would be something they'd be interested in.

A bit? The table views don't even handle sorting from either a persistence or collaborative perspective. If you want to sort a table, do it yourself.

Notion's competitor Coda was acquired by grammarly a year ago! It was surprising because the two markets don't overlap at all - but then it makes sense when I realized all data in Notion/Coda/etc are just food for AI companies.

So I won't be surprised if OpenAI or Anthropic or some AI company buys Notion and makes it their playground to launch AI capabilities.

I don't think there's anything Notion has that Microsoft wants.

They would want the user base, i.e. those who has gone out of their way to pick something different, than Microsoft/Atlassian, like Notion

[joseda-hg]

They are doing loop, so there's something there, however small
