Notion Agents rebuilt, with a smarter Auto model router
Notion rebuilt its AI agents to run tasks for up to 24 hours with their own computer and browser, upgraded its Auto model router (which Notion says matches frontier results at about 90% lower cost), let personal agents use a ChatGPT plan, and moved Notion AI to a new credit system.
Why it matters
For small teams already living in Notion, this makes its built-in agents practical for longer, multi-step work without picking models by hand, and the credit changes affect what Business and Enterprise plans get each month.
What's new
- Notion Agent and Custom Agents run on a rebuilt harness with durable execution, so one task can run for up to 24 hours (up from five minutes), and agents get their own computer and browser.
- Auto, Notion's model router, sends each task to the model that best balances quality, speed and cost; Notion reports results similar to Opus 5.5 and Astra across 20+ common tasks at about 90% lower average cost.
- A new "Review for me" mode uses a separate model to check whether an action is safe before the agent takes it.
- Personal Notion Agent can use a ChatGPT Plus, Pro or Go plan; Bring Your Own Key is in private alpha for Enterprise; the overhauled Notion MCP adds memory sync, with skills via MCP coming soon.
- Business and Enterprise seats now include monthly Standard and Select credits, and an AI Command Center for usage dashboards and spending limits is coming soon.
Taken from the project's own release notes. Claims about speed or accuracy are the maker's unless stated otherwise.
Worth knowing: The cost and quality comparisons are Notion's own testing. Agents with their own computer and browser can take real actions, so review permissions; the AI Command Center is announced but not yet available.
