When NOT to use notion-qa
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- When your use case requires real-time database updates or immediate changes that aren't optimized through natural language queries.
- If your workflow demands handling very complex queries with detailed filters and conditions which might not be effectively conveyed by natural language alone.
- For scenarios where you need strict control over the query execution process without relying on automated parsing and interpretation.
