What is Morgen?

Morgen has cleared the v4 rebuild and is using the new foundation to add web and AI features.

Morgen 4 went out of beta in January after an extended ramp, replacing the internal architecture and dropping legacy CalDAV and Exchange on-premise support. Subsequent releases have layered new capability on the new base: centralized tag management, extended CalDAV support, AI Planner reliability, Microsoft Planner task quotas, and routine events that merge into existing blocks. The cadence is biweekly small releases, with one duplicate publish noted in February.

What is Notion?

Notion is building the place where other companies' agents come to work

The 3.5 and 3.6 releases turned Notion into a developer platform: Workers run custom code on Notion's infrastructure, a CLI and Markdown API exist for coding agents, and External Agents bring Claude and Cursor onto a shared board where a team can assign and watch them. Custom Agents have accumulated the surrounding machinery in the weeks since — five more MCP connections, calendar tools, Outlook mail, Microsoft file read and write, audit-log coverage, and a people directory. The most recent entries are smaller and mostly about wiring: sharing context from the Share menu, sharing Workers across a team, and surfacing Worker usage in the credits dashboard before the free beta ends.

1.3

Morgen has cleared the v4 rebuild and is using the new foundation to add web and AI features.

◆ Current state

Morgen 4 went out of beta in January after an extended ramp, replacing the internal architecture and dropping legacy CalDAV and Exchange on-premise support. Subsequent releases have layered new capability on the new base: centralized tag management, extended CalDAV support, AI Planner reliability, Microsoft Planner task quotas, and routine events that merge into existing blocks. The cadence is biweekly small releases, with one duplicate publish noted in February.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is converting the Morgen 4 platform investment into shipping velocity, especially around AI scheduling, task integrations, and cross-platform reach (the web edition is now possible). Expect more polish on AI Planner and broader integration coverage as the architecture pays back the rewrite cost. The v3 sunset is scheduled, so future work targets v4 only.

◆ Prediction

The next directional move likely brings the Morgen web experience to general availability, plus AI Planner enhancements that reason over routines and tasks across calendars. More CRM and task-system integrations should follow now that the data layer is unified.

Notion is building the place where other companies' agents come to work

◆ Current state

The 3.5 and 3.6 releases turned Notion into a developer platform: Workers run custom code on Notion's infrastructure, a CLI and Markdown API exist for coding agents, and External Agents bring Claude and Cursor onto a shared board where a team can assign and watch them. Custom Agents have accumulated the surrounding machinery in the weeks since — five more MCP connections, calendar tools, Outlook mail, Microsoft file read and write, audit-log coverage, and a people directory. The most recent entries are smaller and mostly about wiring: sharing context from the Share menu, sharing Workers across a team, and surfacing Worker usage in the credits dashboard before the free beta ends.

◆ Where it's heading

Notion is positioning itself as the orchestration layer rather than another agent vendor, which is a different bet than most of its competitors are making. The supporting work is consistent with that: Workers to run the code, a credits dashboard to price it, an audit log to govern it, and sharing so one person's Worker becomes a team asset. The recent shift from platform launches to permissions, sharing and billing surfaces is what a product does after the capability lands and adoption becomes the constraint.

◆ Prediction

Workers move onto paid credits on August 11, so the near-term work should keep clustering around usage visibility and cost controls. The trigger surface is the other thread to watch — meeting notes became an agent trigger this window, and the same pattern applied to other Notion events is the obvious next step.
