About Notion
Notion pivots from app to platform with Workers, External Agents API, and a CLI built for coding agents.
Notion just launched its Developer Platform — Workers (hosted runtime for custom code), an External Agents API to bring Claude, Codex, and Decagon into the canvas, an Agent SDK to embed Notion agents elsewhere, and a CLI aimed at coding agents. In parallel, the Custom Agents product is getting governance scaffolding (admin controls, credit limits, agent directory, Plan Mode for safer multi-step work) and small surface improvements like mobile home and merged cells in tables.
