Notion launched a Developer Platform enabling teams to sync any data source into a shared canvas, build custom automation with code, and orchestrate multiple AI agents—already powering over 1 million custom agents built without coding required.
Key Takeaways
Over 1 million custom agents have been created in Notion in just 3 months, with zero-code setup enabling non-technical users to build powerful background automation running 24/7.
The Developer Platform solves data silos by syncing any API-connected system (CRM, ticketing, production databases, internal services) into Notion as a shared editable canvas, eliminating manual copy-paste workflows.
Developers can now build custom automation for agents using real code hosted by Notion, replacing brittle API rate-limited approaches with reliable, observable syncing infrastructure.
Model-agnostic agent selection lets teams choose frontier models (Claude, Codex) for complex tasks or cost-efficient open-weight models, optimizing for both capability and budget.
Real-world application: Rakuten automated customer request triage overnight and generates tailored daily reports by team in Slack, replacing hours of manual sorting per day.

Transcript Excerpt
[music] >> Hello from Brooklyn, New York, and welcome to Make with Notion. Today, we have a special keynote for developers. You might be thinking, Notion and developers? What's up with that? Well, it's true that historically, Notion hasn't been the most developer-focused platform. But, things are changing. Just in the last year, we have shifted our focus and launched many of the top developer ask, like API for database views, personal access tokens, and making our MCP 91% more token efficient. And of course, the big one, Markdown API. So, Notion now can speak the native language of agents. And today, we have a lot more in store for developers. I think you will like what you see. But first, zooming out. Notion has always been a place for teams to work and think together, and with AI, that m…
