What is Notion?

Every release now lands on the agent: what triggers it, what it can reach, what it costs.

Since Notion 3.6 shipped External Agents, essentially the whole changelog has been agent infrastructure. Custom Agents gained a meeting-note trigger, calendar tools, and a one-click path to share docs into their context; Workers got usage tracking in the credits dashboard ahead of the beta ending; and the model picker now exposes scorecards for speed, intelligence and cost with a per-request effort dial. The one non-agent item in the window is high contrast mode.

What is Fibery?

Fibery's Custom Apps go GA, completing its turn from work tracker to embedded app platform

Fibery spent the past quarter building and shipping Custom Apps — AI-generated mini-apps buildable inside the platform via Claude, ChatGPT, or MCP. Custom Apps launched publicly in mid-August after two months of experimental iteration. In the same period, Fibery added AI-driven automation creation, a usage dashboard tracking AI and integration consumption, and expanded MCP coverage to rich text editing and direct Custom Apps authoring. The platform is shipping weekly with a mix of headliner features and steady bug fixing.

Every release now lands on the agent: what triggers it, what it can reach, what it costs.

◆ Current state

Since Notion 3.6 shipped External Agents, essentially the whole changelog has been agent infrastructure. Custom Agents gained a meeting-note trigger, calendar tools, and a one-click path to share docs into their context; Workers got usage tracking in the credits dashboard ahead of the beta ending; and the model picker now exposes scorecards for speed, intelligence and cost with a per-request effort dial. The one non-agent item in the window is high contrast mode.

◆ Where it's heading

Notion is assembling the unglamorous half of an agent platform - triggers, permissions, connections, metering - rather than adding capabilities. The sequencing is deliberate: agents that can act on your calendar and fire off meeting notes need a permission model and a visible bill before anyone runs them on a team. Surfacing model cost and effort to the end user points the same way, pushing the spend decision down to whoever writes the prompt.

◆ Prediction

The Workers beta ending is the next dated event to watch, and pricing for it is the likeliest announcement; expect further agent triggers beyond meeting notes and more connected tool surfaces on the calendar pattern.

Fibery's Custom Apps go GA, completing its turn from work tracker to embedded app platform

◆ Current state

Fibery spent the past quarter building and shipping Custom Apps — AI-generated mini-apps buildable inside the platform via Claude, ChatGPT, or MCP. Custom Apps launched publicly in mid-August after two months of experimental iteration. In the same period, Fibery added AI-driven automation creation, a usage dashboard tracking AI and integration consumption, and expanded MCP coverage to rich text editing and direct Custom Apps authoring. The platform is shipping weekly with a mix of headliner features and steady bug fixing.

◆ Where it's heading

Fibery is repositioning from a flexible project tracker into a platform where teams build custom tooling on top of their own data, without leaving the workspace. The Custom Apps launch — AI-generated, embeddable in documents, now on a versioned platform — is the clearest statement of that direction. MCP integration at multiple layers (rich text, apps, automations) shows Fibery making itself a first-class target in AI-native workflows rather than bolting on a chat widget.

◆ Prediction

The next likely move is tying Custom Apps directly into Fibery's automation engine — AI-built apps that trigger and respond to automations — which would close the loop between the platform's two main new capability axes. The breaking platform update to Custom Apps in September signals further architectural changes are coming before the feature stabilizes.
