The productivity platform Notion launched its first AI agents and a software update this Thursday at the “Make with Notion” event. The new AI systems allow users to perform multiple tasks autonomously and manage or adapt databases as requested.

In a rush? Here are the quick facts:

  • Notion launched its first AI agents and a software update.
  • The new software, Notion 3.0, introduces advanced AI features and personal agents.
  • The platform also announced that it has joined the MCP program.

According to the official announcement , the new software update, Notion 3.0, introduces advanced AI features and personal agents. These agents integrate with platforms such as Google Drive, Slack, and GitHub, enabling users to streamline their workflows.

“With Notion 1.0 and 2.0, we gave you the tools to do your work in one place,” states the document. “With 3.0, you get Agents that do the work for you, so you can reclaim time and focus on building your life’s work.”

Notion 3.0 allows users to create and customize agents for specific tasks, considering context and memory from past activities and project updates. “It’s like a coworker that’s been around and has genuine context,” said Harsha Yeddanupudy, Faire Product Manager at Notion.

With Custom Agents, users can assign tasks to the AI system, and it will perform autonomously according to the instructions provided. Users will be able to choose from different AI models, including GPT-5 and Claude Sonnet 4—which are built in Notion 3.0—to power their agents.

The productivity platform also announced that it has joined the Model Context Protocol (MPC), allowing interactions with different platforms available in the ecosystem.

“We’ve expanded our list of first-party MCP integrations with lots of new partners like Lovable, Perplexity, Mistral, and HubSpot,” states the announcement. “With Notion MCP, your tools can read context from your Notion workspace (and your connected apps) and write back to Notion.”

Other companies have recently announced similar AI agent strategies. In July, Walmart announced four new AI agents for its business, which were also integrated into the MCP, after Anthropic launched the “Integrations” feature for the protocol.

Mastodon Will Sell Hosting Services And Customer Support To Diversify Revenue

Mastodon announced on Friday that it will offer hosting, customer support, and moderation services as part of a financial strategy to build a sustainable model for the company.

In a rush? Here are the quick facts:

  • Mastodon will offer hosting, customer support, and moderation services to institutions
  • The new offerings are part of a financial strategy to build a sustainable model for the company.
  • It has not yet provided pricing details or outlined the full range of available options.

In January, the decentralized social media network Mastodon’s CEO announced that ownership had been transfered to a non-profit organization based in Europe . Since then, Mastodon has restructured to comply with local laws and meet the needs of its new clients.

According to its official announcement , Mastodon is introducing these new services to establish a stronger financial foundation for the organization. The services will be available to institutions through the platform’s official website.

“We’re taking this step of offering paid hosting, moderation, and support for larger organisations to establish a reliable recurring revenue stream,” states the document. “It is vital that we broaden our income—but, our aspiration remains that Mastodon should be predominantly funded through community contributions in the future.”

Mastodon has not yet provided pricing details or outlined the full range of available options. The new page describes two offerings: a Single Service, which allows clients to maintain full control and manage multiple aspects of their hosted site, and an All-in-One Managed Service, in which Mastodon handles security, moderation, and updates.

The organization emphasized that it continues to value donations and grants from supporters and communities that champion decentralization. It also plans to continue developing other products alongside these new commercial services.

“These new commercial offerings will not be a singular focus for Mastodon,” states the document. “We’ll continue to build the software, alongside operating our own server that can act as an entry point to the Mastodon community for anyone who wants to join.“

The platform emphasized its efforts to remain decentralized and operate under the principles of the fediverse. Mastodon, along with other platforms such as Threads, WordPress, and PeerTube, is part of the fediverse, an interconnected network that operates under the ActivityPub protocol, allowing them to interact in the same ecosystem.
