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.

What is Skedda?

Desk booking growing an org-level control layer for multi-site workplace teams.

Skedda's recent releases split cleanly in two: rule granularity in the booking engine (day-specific approvals, hour-precision booking windows, per-day priority access) and physical-space operations (tablet room terminals, bookable add-ons, issue reporting, visitor CSV import and richer visit exports). The Organization Hub, added in late July, aggregates utilization, bookings, and check-in rates across every venue in one view. Visitor management and reporting are both getting export-grade detail rather than headline features.

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.

Desk booking growing an org-level control layer for multi-site workplace teams.

◆ Current state

Skedda's recent releases split cleanly in two: rule granularity in the booking engine (day-specific approvals, hour-precision booking windows, per-day priority access) and physical-space operations (tablet room terminals, bookable add-ons, issue reporting, visitor CSV import and richer visit exports). The Organization Hub, added in late July, aggregates utilization, bookings, and check-in rates across every venue in one view. Visitor management and reporting are both getting export-grade detail rather than headline features.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is moving up from a single-venue booking tool toward the operations layer for a portfolio of offices — cross-venue analytics, per-team priority rules, and terminals that work without an account all point at customers managing many sites and mostly non-logged-in occupants. Each new data-producing feature (visits, add-ons, issues, check-ins) has been followed by the reporting surface to read it back, which is how the Organization Hub got something worth aggregating.

◆ Prediction

Expect the Organization Hub to widen past utilization into the visitor, add-on, and issue data Skedda now collects, and for its setup to move from an account-manager request into self-serve configuration.
