Notion did it first and arguably better[1]. Shared agents benefit from shared context.

The hardest part is ensuring that shared context is maintained and it converges on a representation of reality and the people in the company.

At promptql, our solution to this was a wiki. You get knowledge-graph/relations for free through page links.

New knowledge additions are proposed when agents decide it would be relevant to retain, humans confirm/deny or create wiki modifications themselves.

In demo videos, it shows Memory under Files, so i assume it holds learnings and shared context.

Yeah, the memory is cool, just a file store that you can instruct the agent to use however you see fit.

Notion, as any other thin-AI product out there, is now in Anthropic/OpenAI/Google's crosshairs. Unless one has a moat the size of SharePoint or Google Docs or OneDrive, it's just a feature away.

I really like Notion's UI. I wish they would focus only on that and let me access my Notion DB as .md files with Claude.

I know this is probably out of scope, but I'd love it as well if Notion could slowly accrete the features of Airtable... at least expose some form of programmatic access to tables!

Yes, please. Their MCP suuuuuuuucks

How does it suck? I use it almost daily and love their Notion MCP

Can't limit access easily. You can do per-workspace permissions and that's about it.

I was probably a bit harsh.

It works, but models seem to have these insane long traces to do the most basic things. I had to create a couple of skills so they know how to properly use the thing without breaking, so they don't always try to pass the wrong parameters to it.

It also doesn't let us change a couple of things (like icons). Or, if it does, not even Opus 4.6 can figure out how to do it.

Take a look at Outline! I use it almost exactly like a cloud based Obsidian vault. And they have been very responsive for MCP feature requests
Re:Workspace Agents in ChatGPT by bryanhogan on Thursday April 23, 2026 @02:35AM (#47872792)
I don't think they have added a Obsidian Bases / Notion Database like feature yet, right? Saw some discussion of adding a NocoDB integration, but also didn't see that happen yet.

it's funny how adding AI to notion actually made it a lot more usable. Most products force it on you, but here I feel like it's actually a massive benefit. It was hard finding content and using the filters felt clunky. (And the whole UI either in a browser or their app feels buggy + slow). But with their notion AI / MCP it's gotten super easy to get information in and out.
