The loudest story about AI is a lonely one. One person with an army of chatbots. Other humans are friction. That gets the future wrong. The best things aren’t built alone. In a moment of change, we want to remind the world (and ourselves) what Notion stands for: — Think Together

So for 5 years, “offline” has been the #1 request. Today, thanks to the perseverance of our engineering team, Notion finally works offline. Your ideas don’t need Wi‑Fi to exist! For Notion community: thank you for your patience while we built this right. This is a journey, I want to share what we had to invent to make this real... 1/n

At Notion, we believe every business deserves powerful & beautiful tools. AI is the most important technology of this era. It shouldn't only belong to companies that have AI teams or can afford forward deployed engineers. Today we're launching Custom Agents: — The first multiplayer agents built for business. — No coding. Minutes to set up. Hosted in the cloud. — Run autonomously 24/7 with all your business apps. — Switch between the best LLMs (usually the same day they're released). — One person builds it, the whole company benefits. Rolling out for Business and Enterprise customers today. The AI era should leave no one behind 👌

Notion 3.0 with Agents is out today! It's the first Knowledge Work Agent in the world. It works with Notion databases. It can do multi-step actions and autonomous work up to 20+ mins, and a brand-new memory system (using Notion pages and databases! 👌) With 3.0, Notion isn’t just your tool — it’s your teammate that works while you sleep. Two types of agents: Personal Agent: Can do anything you can do in Notion. Remembers and learns your preferences as you work. Has a little personality (accessories like a duck hat 🦆.) Custom Agents (early access): Spin up a small team. Hand them the repetitive stuff. They work while you sleep! And Notion Agents work across Notion Calendar, Notion Mail, plus MCP and more. Available today! Try it. Tell us what’s missing. We’ll keep shipping, so you can focus on your life’s work 🫡

"I don't know who discovered water, but I'm sure it wasn't a fish." This is my most personal conversation this year. If you build with AI and care about avoiding slop, this interview might offer a fresh perspective. Alan Kay is my hero and a big reason Notion exists. He helped invent many things we consider "computers" today: the first personal computer at Xerox PARC, the GUI (which Steve Jobs saw and took to Apple), the desktop metaphor, and Object-Oriented Programming. Most people don’t know Alan cares and thinks more about humanity than computing. In this chat, Alan explains: — Humans lack built-in limits for once-scarce rewards. Marketers turn these into legal drugs. The Industrial Revolution amplified salt, sugar, outrage, and validation. — We swim in our blind spots. Perception is a reconstruction in the brain. Cut off feedback in an isolation tank and the brain starts dreaming while awake. — Media becomes our culture and environment, the water that fish can’t see. TV normalized what once seemed unthinkable, like reality TV. — New media imitates old media at first, hiding its true effects until it is too late. — Without education between human and tool, we create informational hydrogen bombs used by 100,000-year-old brains. — Point of view is worth 80 IQ points. Problem finding matters more than problem solving, but schools teach the latter. — Paradigm shifts make reality simpler and truer, like moving from Earth-centered epicycles to Kepler’s ellipses. — To have ideas, keep a "crazy room" and a "sane room." Let ideas rip. Avoid naming too early. Do not chase ratholes. — ... how to build tools that shape civilization for the better. Notion was directly inspired by Alan’s work from the 70s. This conversation is aligned with what we are trying to build at Notion. Alan's metaphors take time to absorb. It’s worth revisiting.
