Notion has launched Custom Agents, a significant AI product effort that aims to transform their productivity tool into an agent-native system of record for enterprise work. This feature, which underwent multiple rebuilds over several years, is built on the "Agent Lab" thesis, focusing on creating a robust product system around frontier AI capabilities rather than just wrapping models.
