Notion just dropped its first AI agent, and it's not your typical chatbot. At today's 'Make with Notion' event, the productivity platform unveiled an AI system that can automatically generate meeting analysis, competitor reports, and bug tracking dashboards by pulling from hundreds of pages across your workspace. Unlike simple AI assistants, these agents handle complex multi-step workflows that can run for up to 20 minutes.
Notion just changed the game for workplace automation. The company's first AI agent doesn't just answer questions - it actually does the work, creating entire databases, generating analysis reports, and updating pages based on context from your entire workspace.
Announced at Thursday's 'Make with Notion' event, the new agent represents a major leap from Notion's existing AI features, which were limited to search and summarization. This agent tackles complex, multi-step tasks that previously required hours of manual work, processing information across hundreds of pages in workflows that can run up to 20 minutes.
The automation possibilities are extensive. During demo presentations, Notion showed agents creating bug tracking dashboards by pulling data from Slack, email, and Google Drive. Other examples included generating competitor analysis reports, creating restaurant trackers, and providing feedback on landing pages with automatic updates.
"The agent will draw on all a user's notion pages and database as context, automatically generating notes and analysis for meetings, competitor evaluation reports, and feedback landing pages," Notion explained in their announcement. The system can create entirely new pages and databases or update existing ones with fresh data, properties, and views.
What sets this apart from basic AI tools is the personalization layer. Users can set up detailed 'profile' pages that instruct agents on referencing sources, output style, and where to store final results. The system also learns from interactions, storing key preferences and memories that users can edit directly on the profile page.
This launch caps off Notion's aggressive expansion strategy. Over the past two years, the company has rolled out a calendar app, Gmail client, and meeting transcription features - building the contextual foundation these agents now leverage.
