About Notion
Notion turns itself into the orchestration layer where other agents run.
Notion has shipped a full developer platform — Workers as a hosted runtime, External Agents API for Claude/Codex/Decagon, a CLI, inbound webhooks, and an Agent SDK. The Custom Agents beta has produced more than a million agents in two months, and the latest releases are about turning that surge into something enterprises will actually deploy: per-agent credit limits, workspace caps, admin dashboards, and a Library directory. Doc editing has become the visible surface; the engine being built underneath is agent and data plumbing.
