Overview
What Notion AI is
Notion AI brings search, writing help and agents into a team workspace. Custom agents can run on schedules and connect to tools such as Slack, Drive and GitHub.
Its strength is context: it works on the pages and databases your team already keeps.
Current models. Public reports describe Custom Agents (generally available May 2026), suggested edits in August 2026 and an External Agents API that lets Claude Code and Cursor work as collaborators.
