Decoder with Nilay PatelHow the head of Obsidian went from superfan to CEOObsidian is a note-taking and productivity app that occupies the same "second brain" space as competitors like Notion — but in a lot of ways, it's also startlingly different. Obsidian's files are Markdown-based, stored locally on your own devices, and completely free to use.
Steph Ango, the CEO, is also different in a lot of ways: He's not an Obsidian founder, but instead came to the role from being basically a member of the fan development community. His take on software, productivity, and business is refreshingly old-fashioned in a lot of good ways, while he's also leading a ve...

播客翻译计划#11 当AI遇上Notion：Notion CEO Evan Zhao 谈工具的未来📝 本期播客简介本期对话来自科技媒体 The Verge 的王牌播客《Decoder》，主持人凯西·牛顿（Platformer 创始人）深度专访 Notion 联合创始人兼 CEO 伊万·赵。作为 Notion 的重度用户，凯西与这位硅谷明星创业者探讨了三大核心议题：工具如何重塑人类生产力认知？一家坚持”慢公司“理念的企业如何十年磨一剑突破3000万用户？当AI浪潮席卷而来，Notion 如何用“AI赋能人类创造力”而非替代？伊万·赵更犀利指出：用户长期忍受糟糕工具设计的现状必须终结——真正的生产变革始于对工具提出更高要求。⚙️ 本期嘉宾伊万·赵（Ivan Zhao），Notion 联合创始人兼 CEO。2013年创立 Notion 至今，带领团队打造出全球增长最快的生产力工具之一。其核心理念“All-in-One Workspace”颠覆传统SaaS模式，主张工具应适应人类思维而非相反。在AI时代提出”Human in the Loop“框架，坚持技术必须服务于人的创造力延伸。🌟 精彩内容🛠️ 工具设计的哲学悖论：“我们总在问“如何提升效率”，却很少质疑工具本身的设计逻辑。就像给你一把钝斧头，再怎么优化挥斧动作都是徒劳。”伊万揭示工具进化的核心矛盾：现有软件往往强迫用户适应机器逻辑，而 Notion 的模块化设计让工具首次实现了“人类思维的可视化映射”。 🚀 反常识增长策略：当同行疯狂融资扩张时，Notion 曾因用户增长过慢被投资人质疑。伊万坚持“先打造用户热爱的产品，再思考增长”：通过允许用户用 Notion 建个人网站、开发第三方模板等“非正统”功能，意外触发指数级传播。如今企业客户主动上门的关键转折点，他总结为”工具情感化“——当员工自愿把工作流迁移到 Notion，说明它真正成了思维伙伴。 🤖 AI 的“人本主义”革命：针对AI替代人类的焦虑，伊万演示了 Notion AI 的底层逻辑：当用户要求“把会议记录转化为OKR”时，AI不是直接输出结果，而是生成可编辑的草案框架。“就像给作家一支更智能的笔——核心创作权永远属于人。”他更预言：未来十年工具进化的分水岭，在于能否守护人类的“创造性”。🌐 播客信息补充翻译克隆自：Notion's CEO wants you to demand better from your tools本播客由AI进行中文音频制作，如果你对翻译和音频质量有任何意见，随时联系微信：caiwenshuo你可在 Bayt 播客收听任何英文播客的中文版：apps.apple.com关键词：Notion, 生产力工具, 伊万·赵, SaaS, AI革命, 人机协作, 工具设计哲学, 创业增长, 模块化软件, 创造力工具, 硅谷创业, Decoder播客, 凯西·牛顿, 未来工作
