Collaboard plays the secure, European online-whiteboard alternative to Miro.
Roughly one post a month with a steady mix of online-whiteboard educational content (brainstorming, huddle boards, idea boards) and occasional product-feature posts. Security is treated as a first-class differentiator — the April security-features piece reads like a positioning anchor for the EU/Swiss data-hosting buyer.
Notion turns itself into the orchestration layer where other agents run.
Notion has shipped a full developer platform — Workers as a hosted runtime, External Agents API for Claude/Codex/Decagon, a CLI, inbound webhooks, and an Agent SDK. The Custom Agents beta has produced more than a million agents in two months, and the latest releases are about turning that surge into something enterprises will actually deploy: per-agent credit limits, workspace caps, admin dashboards, and a Library directory. Doc editing has become the visible surface; the engine being built underneath is agent and data plumbing.

Cadence is low and feature drops are quiet but real (the September video-screenshot feature). The product is leaning on operational-frameworks content (Lean huddle boards, swimlane and activity diagrams) to capture teams already running structured processes who need a digital surface that meets European compliance norms.
Expect continued small feature posts every quarter or two and continued process-template content. The interesting watch is whether Collaboard makes any louder play for Miro-displacement traffic as Miro continues to consolidate features and raise prices.

The trajectory is from doc-and-database app to connective tissue between agents, SaaS APIs, and team workflows. Each recent release pushes in the same direction — agents become more discoverable (Directory), more reviewable before they act (Plan Mode), more governable at scale (admin controls), and more capable of reaching outside Notion (Agent SDK, webhooks). The strategic bet is that whoever owns the orchestration substrate matters more than whoever ships the smartest model.
Expect Workers to convert from free-beta to credit-metered on August 11, 2026, with pricing pressure landing on agent-SaaS startups whose value is mostly API stitching. The External Agents API and Agent SDK should move from waitlist to GA next, alongside deeper Slack/MS Teams surfaces where Notion agents run without users ever opening Notion.
