Learnly: PortiaAI Learning Summarisation Tool

Project Overview: Learnly is study tool that helps you to summarise lecture notes or research topics within your notion knowledge base. My coding partner, Scott, and I developed this for the Encode AI London 2025 hackathon.

It leverages Portia AI’s SDK to create an automated workflow that transforms user-selected topics into comprehensive Notion pages, combining YouTube content and AI-powered summarization.

Outcome

We successfully demonstrated the power of combining Portia AI and an agentic workflow with Notion.

It was my first time in a while working with Python, and my first time running a Flask Server. I enjoyed working with Scott - and building the agentic tools and notion integration within 36 hours.
