Velocity6.3

All-in-one workspace for notes, docs, and projects

www.notion.so ↗

Notion is turning itself into the place teams and their AI agents share one board.

agent-orchestrationdeveloper-platformai-agentsworkflow-automationmcpenterprise
◆Current state
Notion has moved well past docs-and-databases into an agent platform. Its 3.5 and 3.6 releases stood up a full developer platform — a hosted Workers runtime, a CLI, and an External Agents API — then wired Claude, Cursor, and Codex into shared boards where teammates can @-mention them. AI Meeting Notes with speaker labels, Microsoft file read/write, and Outlook control round out a workspace being rebuilt around agents doing real work.
◆Where it's heading
The direction is orchestration: Notion wants to be the surface where human and machine work sit side by side, with agents assignable like teammates and extensible through customer-written Workers. Each recent release deepens that bet — mobile agents, more model choices, new MCP connections, and admin controls for spend and audit. The note-taking product is now the on-ramp, not the point.
◆Prediction
Expect the External Agents roster to expand beyond Claude, Cursor, and Codex, and Workers to move from free beta to credit-metered billing on the announced August 11, 2026 date.

    Notion 3.6: External Agents, HTML blocks, and more

    ⚡ SPARK

    The 3.6 release makes External Agents a first-class team object — Claude and Cursor now run on shared boards, @-mentioned like teammates — while speaker labels, Microsoft file read/write, and interactive HTML blocks widen the surface. It is the clearest expression yet of the orchestration arc.

    Merge cells in simple tables

    Adds merge-cells to simple tables, a long-requested layout basic. Useful polish, orthogonal to the agent push.

    3.5: Notion Developer Platform

    ⚡ SPARK

    The 3.5 Developer Platform is the foundation the agent strategy stands on: a hosted Workers runtime, a CLI, any-source data sync, and an External Agents API turn Notion into programmable infrastructure. This is the structural move the later agent releases build on.

    Plan Mode

    Plan Mode has the agent ask clarifying questions and draft a plan before executing bulk changes, reducing drift on multi-step work. A reliability improvement to the agent, not a new direction.

    New Custom Agent Directory

    Gives Custom Agents a dedicated Library directory to browse, pin, and create — organizational scaffolding for a feature teams have made over a million of. Housekeeping for scale.
