Today's playbook will help you build an AI-Powered Learning system



Why This Playbook Matters

Most people consume information randomly, jumping from one article to another without a clear strategy. The result in shallow knowledge, wasted time, and no real skill development.

Instead, imagine an AI-powered learning system that handpicks the best courses, articles, and videos tailored to your interests and career goals—and delivers them automatically.

This playbook will show you how to build an automated learning system using Refind, Zapier, and Notion in under 30 minutes.

Implementation Guide

Step 1: Set Up Refind for AI-Powered Curation

Objective: Use AI to find and recommend the best learning content.

1. Sign up for a free account at Refind.com.

2. Select 5 topics you want to master.

3. Let Refind curate daily AI-driven recommendations based on your interests.

4. Adjust your recommendations over time by upvoting/downvoting content.

💡 Pro Tip: Connect your Twitter and LinkedIn accounts so Refind learns from your content interactions.

Step 2: Automate Content Collection with Zapier

Objective: Automatically save recommended content for structured learning.

1. Create a Zapier account and start a new Zap.

2. Choose Refind as the trigger and select “New Saved Link” as the event.

3. Connect Notion as the action and select “Create a Database Item” in your learning tracker.

🚀 Result: Every time you save an article in Refind, it’s automatically added to your Notion Learning Hub.

Step 3: Organize Your Learning in Notion

Objective: Structure your saved content into an actionable learning system.

Create a Notion database with these fields:

✅ Title → Auto-filled from Refind

✅ URL → Direct link to the resource

✅ Category → Course, article, video, etc.

✅ Status → To-Read, In Progress, Completed

✅ Notes → Key takeaways and action steps

🔗 Bonus: Use Notion’s AI summarizer to generate key takeaways automatically.

Step 4: Set Up Weekly Learning Reviews

Objective: Track progress and ensure real learning.

Add a Zapier automation to send a weekly review email summarizing:

✅ New content added

✅ In-progress learning

✅ Completed lessons


✍️ Example Review Email Template:

Subject: Your Weekly Learning Report 📚

Hi [Your Name],

Here’s your personalized learning update:

New Content Added: [#]

In Progress: [#]

Completed This Week: [#]

Keep growing,

[Your Name]

With this automation, you:

✅ Never waste time on random content

✅ Always learn what matters to your goals

✅ Build real skills through structured learning


Information is only valuable if it leads to action. Make your learning work for you.
