Notion’s AI agent workspace

Kim Isenberg and Peter Thum talk with Akshay Kothari, co-founder of Notion, about one of the biggest shifts in software right now: Notion’s evolution from a notes app into an agent-first workspace — where humans, custom code and AI agents work side by side.

One example from inside Notion: an internal people-ops agent that answers employee questions from company knowledge, opens a ticket when it doesn’t know, and improves as answers flow back into the knowledge base. They also discuss Notion Workers, custom agents, model optionality, and how AI could shift companies from measuring headcount toward measuring outcomes.
