“This isn’t an AI chatbot that makes generic suggestions. Your Notion Agent tackles real work because it understands your work and can take action.”
San Francisco-based Notion is looking to get busier in the productivity space with the launch of Notion 3.0.
This release introduces AI Agents — a plan to position Notion as more than a workspace platform, but as a partner in intelligent, automated work.
“This isn’t an AI chatbot that makes generic suggestions. Your Notion Agent tackles real work because it understands your work and can take action. It can complete multiple actions at a time, creating finished pages, databases, and reports directly in your workspace. Just assign the tasks, and your Agent does the work,” said Akshay Kothari, Co-founder, Notion.
This is an intriguing productivity leap and market momentum is looking good. Capgemini data shows AI agent projects surged 48% in 2025, and analysts predict that half of enterprises will pilot agent-based solutions by 2027.
Until now, AI in productivity tools has been limited to editing or providing suggestions. With Notion 3.0, however, Agents can perform nearly any task a human can within the platform — from creating documents and building databases to executing multi-step workflows across connected tools.
Personalization sits at the heart of Notion’s AI strategy. Each Agent can be tailored with custom instructions, context, and even personality, acting as a memory bank for how its user works. The more it’s used, the more it learns — streamlining task triage, formatting, and workflow habits.
Users can also add flair: from naming their Agent to accessorizing it, Notion emphasizes that these assistants should feel like teammates rather than faceless bots.
According to the company, Agents can handle up to 20 minutes of autonomous work at a time across hundreds of pages. That means turning meeting notes into polished proposals, synthesizing customer feedback from multiple sources into structured databases, or automatically keeping knowledge bases up to date.
Notion has also compiled a library of templates and video demonstrations to help users experiment with workflows ranging from project planning to personal hobbies like film tracking or coffee journaling.
The company isn’t stopping at personal assistants. Soon, users will be able to build Custom Agents — a fleet of specialized AIs designed for team-wide automation. One might compile daily user feedback, another post weekly progress updates, and another triage IT requests, all running on schedules or triggers.
“Think of it as a whole team of AI specialists,” Kothari explained. “Each with its own expertise, working even while you sleep.”
Recent studies show AI frameworks already reshaping industries from finance and healthcare to e-commerce and cybersecurity. With Notion 3.0, those capabilities are now available not just to enterprises but to small teams and individual professionals, democratizing access to intelligent automation.
By embedding intelligence directly into workflows, Notion is helping to accelerate a shift from standalone AI apps to embedded workplace intelligence. Instead of simply storing and organizing information, productivity tools are now beginning to think, learn, and act alongside human teams.
