Notion Agents

The star of the show was—and you could have guess it from the direction Notion took with AI—agents!

But first, what’s an agent?

An agent is an AI teammate that can read and act across your Notion workspace and connected apps, following your instructions and style.

Notion announced two types of AI agents:

1/ Personal Agent — available now

Your personalized teammate in Notion. Whatever you can do in Notion, your Personal Agent can also do — using your workspace context and connected apps. It learns your style and ways of working. You can even name it and dress it up with accessories ↓

Comes with a memory system powered by Notion pages and databases. Give it clear instructions so it feels like a teammate who really knows you. The more you use it, the more personalized it becomes.

2/ Custom agents — alpha, early access

Spin up a small team of specialized agents. Hand them the repetitive stuff. They work while you sleep. More to come soon!

To summarize:

  • Custom agents = great for specialized, repeatable tasks on auto‑pilot. For example: daily content curation, lead triage, QA checks before publish.
  • Personal agent = great all‑rounder for day‑to‑day work. For example: draft docs in your voice, summarize meetings, update databases, prep a project brief from scattered notes.

Notes:

  • Agents work across Notion, Notion Calendar, Notion Mail, and MCP.
  • Your Agent has the same permissions you do — if you can’t view or edit it, neither can your Agent.
  • You can always undo any changes made by your Personal Agent.
