A CEDEC 2026 session by Notion Labs Japan and Bandai Namco Entertainment explained how the note-taking service can smooth project coordination with external development partners. The lecture covered an overview of Notion as a context layer, a Bandai Namco case study on collaboration with outside companies, and a demonstration for internal title development use.
The session was led by Masaya Imaizumi and Kiyohisa Kojima of Notion Labs Japan, and Mihoko Sakata of Bandai Namco Entertainment. It began with a frank account of an early failure: for about six months after introduction, information was accumulated but neither read nor utilized.
The lecture was organized into three parts. It opened with an overview of Notion, positioning the service as a context layer, a technology that structures information and links meanings through a vector database. That structure is what underpins Notion AI, which allows switching between Claude, Gemini, and GPT models.
The case study portion identified four stumbling blocks in projects run with external companies. The first was information that cannot be found, since meeting minutes, documents, and chat conversations tend to scatter across systems.
