01 — Overview
Many teams already keep structured work in Notion databases: requests, vendors, projects, policies. Chamfer lets you build a proper tool on that data without moving it. Connect a Notion integration, share the databases it needs, and describe the tool. The Bench reads the properties, including selects, relations and people, and builds screens that match. A vendor request form, a project board or a runbook assistant are common first tools.
Apps can create and update pages, so a request form can add a row to a Notion database and a Job can set its status when the work is done. Notion pages also make good context for model steps. An app can let Claude or GPT answer questions from your runbooks and link each answer to the page it came from. Access follows the pages you share with the integration, plus the roles you set in Chamfer.
