Notion Updates & Release Notes

Two months ago, we launched Custom Agents in beta. Since then, teams have created more than half a million of them and honestly pushed them further than we expected!

One theme from admins was consistent: as Custom Agents scaled, so did the need for more control and visibility. Your feedback shaped what we built next, so here’s what's new.

Set guardrails before Custom Agents run

Managing who can create Custom Agents and how much each agent is allowed to spend make rollouts easier to manage:

• Start by choosing who create agents, either individuals or user groups, then expand access over time as you build confidence. You can do this in Settings → Notion AI → Agents.
• To keep spend predictable, set per-agent credit limits with agent creators. If you’re on Enterprise and planning a broader rollout, you can also set one workspace-level credit limit that applies to all new and existing agents. Both controls are in your usage dashboard at Settings → Notion credits.

Track every agent and spend across your workspace

The Notion credits dashboard shows total usage broken down by agent, plus spend trends, status, and recent activity.

If an agent is pacing higher than expected, you can disable it right away in Settings → Notion AI → Agents, then work with the creator to adjust it before turning it back on.

If you manage multiple workspaces, you’ll also see a credits dashboard in your admin console to track credit pacing and Custom Agent usage across your organization.

Scale agents with built-in guardrails

A few things happen automatically to keep rollouts predictable even at scale:

• Get notified by email and in-app as your workspace approaches its credit limit, so you’ve time to plan ahead.
• If credits run out, all agents pause until you add more, so you won’t get surprise bills.
• If a new agent starts spending unusually fast, we’ll pause it and notify the creator to review.
• Members can request a higher credit limit, but nothing goes through without admin approval.

We launched Custom Agents a few weeks ago, and teams are building faster than we can keep up with. In Notion 3.4, your agents can take on even more of your day-to-day busywork.

Custom Agents are now easier to fine-tune, and new AI Autofill brings them straight into your databases, making enrichment and upkeep automatic. And you can create skills for your Notion Agent, so it can learn your most important workflows.

Custom Agents are still free to try until May 3, 2026, so now’s the time!

Teams and Custom Agents, working together

In case you missed it, here’s a quick refresher on Custom Agents: they’re like AI teammates that handle your repetitive work. Since launching a month ago, we’re seeing all manner of teams discover new ways to put them to work:

• Surface the right info at the right time: Ramp’s GTM team uses Enablement Eddie to pull up the right assets and customer answers.
• Handle repeat questions: Clay runs an IT Buddy that resolves common employee questions in minutes.
• Automate reporting: Braintrust’s Competitive Intelligence Agent that tracks competitor updates across the web and Gong call transcripts, then revises internal docs every morning so the latest context is ready for the day.

New Custom Agent upgrades: efficiency, transparency, context

You want agents to help, but you need pricing that scales, visibility into what agents are doing, and integrations with your tool stack. This update hits all three:

• More efficient to run: Custom Agents are now 35–50% cheaper to run across the board, especially ones with repetitive tasks like email triage. They’re even more cost efficient when you pick new models like GPT-5.4 Mini & Nano, Haiku 4.5, and MiniMax M2.5 that use up to 10× fewer credits.
• Visibility into your Agents’ credits: It’s now easier to tune your agent and understand what’s working with the Notion credits dashboard. We’ll continue adding more signals over time, so it’s easier to optimize and decide what’s worth running. A few tips to fine-tune your agents here.
• More context to work with: Custom Agents can finally use private Slack channels, so they’re not missing the conversations that matter. Many more integrations to come, including Microsoft Teams, Google Drive, Salesforce, and custom connectors.

Starting May 4, Custom Agents will use Notion Credits you can purchase. In the meantime, they’re free for a few more weeks, so now’s the time to try.

AI Autofill in databases, powered by Custom Agents

Use Autofill to keep your data fresh and up to date, now with all the power and intelligence of Custom Agents. Continuously enrich, extract, and categorize information across every row, so your database stays trustworthy without manual review.

This feature is rolling out now, so if you don’t see it yet, you will soon. For simpler fills, basic AI Autofill stays included in Business and Enterprise plans. Learn more →

Your Notion Agent has new Skills, integrations … and you can talk to it!

Skills turn “that thing you always ask Notion Agent to do” into something it can do on command. Save your best workflows as skills like drafting weekly updates, reshaping a doc in your team’s format, or prepping briefs before a meeting.

Your Notion Agent also has a few more tricks up its sleeve:

• Integrate with Calendar, Mail, and Slack: Ask your agent to read, summarize, and follow through in the tools you use every day.
• Inline doc edits: Have your agent edit directly in your doc when you select text, so changes happen in place.
• Talk to your agent: Use the microphone button to dictate your prompt.

Customize your AI Meeting Notes summary

Your #1 feature request for AI Meeting Notes is finally here! Now you can add a quick set of custom instructions, so summaries come out in the format you prefer. Also, summary quality has been getting even better, as AI now does the heavy lifting of pulling in relevant workspace context.

New AI connectors: Salesforce and Box

With the Salesforce connector, search accounts, opportunities, and notes to prep for calls, draft follow‑ups, and build account plans without bouncing between tabs. With the Box connector, search and summarize files like proposals, contracts, and project docs to pull key details, compare versions, and keep deliverables moving.

A meaningful performance boost

Pages should feel instant, especially when you’re bouncing between docs all day. Now, initial page render is 28% faster, so content shows up sooner and you can stay in flow. It’s a small change, but it adds up quickly.

New database permission: “Can create pages”

Allow teammates to create new pages in a database, while still being restricted from viewing or editing other content they shouldn’t have access to.

Imagine a meetings database where a teammate should be able to access their own meeting notes and create new meetings, without being able to view anyone else’s. Try it in cases where your team is working with external contributors or sensitive information.

But wait, there’s more

• AI Meeting Notes supported via API: Integrations can now pull full transcripts and summarized notes, so teams can automatically follow-up on action items across the tools they already use.
• n8n MCP integration: Connect your Custom Agents to n8n so they can run the automations you already use and help coordinate work across your other apps and APIs.
• MCP improvements: AI tools can now do more in Notion, reliably, across comments, meeting transcripts, and Notion Sites, with faster responses and new admin controls like auditing and approved tools.

We’ll keep making Notion AI a better tool for (human) teamwork.

Cheers,

Ivan
