AI Agents Perform Up to 20 Minutes of Autonomous Work Across Hundreds of Pages

Notion officially stepped into the agent-driven AI era on Thursday with the launch of Notion Agent, the centerpiece of its Notion 3.0 rollout. Billed as a “teammate and Notion super user,” the agent is designed to handle virtually any task a human could perform in Notion. This marks a major shift for the popular productivity platform, which until now required users to manually construct pages, databases and workflows.

The Notion Agent can autonomously build and organize pages or databases, search for information beyond a user’s workspace—including Slack integrations and internet resources—and complete up to 20 minutes of autonomous work across hundreds of pages simultaneously. According to Notion, this functionality allows the agent to form plans, execute them, and dramatically reduce manual effort for complex projects or routine tasks.

Personalization is a key feature. Agents “remember” a user’s preferred working style—such as which content to reference or where to store it—and these memories can be edited or reset. Users can also set up multiple profiles, each with different behaviors tailored to specific projects or workflows. Fully customizable, fully automated agents are planned for future updates, extending the platform’s capabilities even further.

Use cases highlighted by Notion include automating email campaigns, consolidating and analyzing feedback from multiple platforms, and transforming meeting notes into polished emails or proposals. Co-founder Akshay Kothari teased the feature in earlier demos, where the agent created a café tracker and a movie database based on Rotten Tomatoes scores. The launch signals Notion’s ambition to stay competitive in the rapidly evolving AI productivity space by offering a truly hands-off digital assistant for its users.
