Rule of thumb · Pick Notion AI if your team lives in Notion already and your agents are read-only assistants. Pick Bcontext when your agents need to write back, and you need typed structure plus MCP-native access.
Markdown export at any time. Re-imports are idempotent — running the migration again updates in-place instead of duplicating.
Most tools support a markdown or JSON export. Drop the folder into the bcontext importer — sub-folders become folder nodes, pages become docs.
Run the auto-typer to suggest kinds — tasks, decisions, runbooks, meetings — based on title patterns and frontmatter. Review the diffs as proposals.
Side-by-side view of original + bcontext-typed nodes. Accept what's right, reject what's noise. The whole thing exports back to clean markdown anytime.
The hidden cost of pages-as-primitive is retrieval. RAG quality is bottlenecked on chunk metadata. With typed nodes, Bcontext's retriever knows that an ADR has a `status` field, a meeting has a `date` and `participants`, a task carries a `priority`. The reranker stage can weight by recency, kind, and edge relationships rather than crude TF-IDF over a blob of HTML. In practice, this turns into citation precision: when Claude answers "what's the open ADR on auth?", it returns the right ADR, not the meeting note where you discussed it.
The hidden cost of read-only AI is operational drift. Decisions get made in Slack and Cursor and never make it into the source of truth. Six weeks later, three engineers each have a different memory of why the auth provider was chosen. Bcontext's agent write path closes this loop: Claude can file the decision the moment it's made, with an Idempotency-Key that makes the retry-on-network-failure case safe. The next engineer who asks "why did we pick this?" gets the cited answer in seconds.
Finally, the AGENTS.md generator. Notion has no native concept of "this rule should ship to every coding agent on this repo." Bcontext's skill nodes auto-export to AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .cursor/rules, and .clinerules — synced via the GitHub connector. Edit your AI conventions in one place; every Claude Code / Cursor session on every repo picks them up unchanged.
The importer runs both ways. Keep your existing tool live, add bcontext as the agent surface, decide later.
