Is Notion AI Down?

PAY FOR NOTION AI WITH YOUR CHATGPT PLAN, SKILLS API, COLUMN PERMISSIONS, MCP CONTROLS (2026-10-13 release, vendor-primary): Notion's 'all about context' release. **(1) ChatGPT subscription billing:** 'If you have ChatGPT Plus or Pro, your subscription can now cover your AI usage in Notion. Just connect your plan, pick a GPT model, and go. We don't add a markup.' **Available for Business and Enterprise plans.** This is the 'Sign in with ChatGPT' item earlier sweeps deferred; it changes the cost maths for heavy users who already pay OpenAI, but only for GPT models and only on the two top Notion tiers. **(2) Skills:** a new **Skills API** syncs Skills stored in Notion to ChatGPT, Claude 'and more' (it 'loads Skills from Notion into GitHub'). **(3) Agents from outside:** any MCP-compatible agent ('Claudes, Muses, GrokBots, Dots') can read and update the workspace; **Notion MCP controls** let admins see who connected each AI tool, when it was last used, and revoke one person's access; 150+ MCP connections feed Notion Agent and Custom Agents (HubSpot, Stripe, Cloudflare named). **(4) Column permissions** -- long-requested -- let database owners set which properties each person or agent can view or edit. **(5)** Upgraded version history with attribution for agent edits; rebuilt synced databases for GitHub, Jira and Salesforce with live health status; **seven new models including GPT-6.1 Sol, GPT-6 Luna, Opus 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5**; a public 'Knowledge Board' of model performance on knowledge work; redesigned Connections settings with admin allow-lists; Notion notifications in Microsoft Teams. No price change to Notion's own plans or credits was announced.

SKILLS BECOME A SHARED TEAM ASSET -- NOTION 3.7 (2026-09-15, vendor releases page; published one day after this page was last reviewed). Notion 3.7 introduces **Agent skills**: 'reusable instructions that teach AI how your team works', such as generating a monthly business review in the team format or critiquing a doc the way a manager would. A **skills library** gives the workspace 'one hub for all shared skills'; related skills can live in a Notion database and be shared one at a time or as a whole database, with everyone on the latest version. Skills are created by chatting with Notion Agent ('Review this feature proposal using our product, design, and engineering standards'), Notion can suggest skills 'based on the work you already do', and a skill is run by typing / in a Notion Agent chat. Why it matters for this page: combined with the 9/09 model controls, admins now govern both which models agents use and which procedures they follow, which is the missing piece for the Custom Agents credit billing recorded below to be predictable at team scale. No pricing change announced with 3.7.

MODEL CONTROLS FOR AGENTS, SUGGEST-EDITS MODE, AND A MODEL PICKER WITH SCORECARDS -- SIX NOTION RELEASES SINCE THIS PAGE WAS LAST REVIEWED (2026-07-31 to 2026-09-09, all vendor release notes; page last reviewed 7/18): **(1) Model controls (2026-09-09):** 'workspace owners can choose which AI models are available in **Notion Agent and Custom Agents separately**, and set a default model for Custom Agents' -- pitched as 'keep costs predictable and support your compliance needs.' **Business and Enterprise plans only**, under Settings -> Notion AI -> General -> Model controls. This is the first admin-side lever over which vendor's model handles company data inside Notion, and it pairs with the per-agent spend caps recorded in May. **(2) Suggest edits (2026-08-28):** agents 'can now propose changes instead of making them directly' -- ask for 'suggest edits' and approve each one top to bottom; Notion positions it for line-level passes like grammar. **(3) Developer Portal in the sidebar (2026-08-19):** manage Workers, connections and personal access tokens from a new Developer section, see deployed Workers and per-run logs, and a **developer bar** that surfaces page/database/block/workspace/user IDs (or the full API object) in one click; enable under Settings -> Developer. **(4) Model selection, simplified (2026-08-14):** the picker 'now leads with a shortlist of models made for your hardest tasks, and every model has a **scorecard to compare speed, intelligence, and cost**', with pinning and an effort dial. **(5) Share context from the Share menu (2026-08-07)** -- share a doc or database directly to a Custom Agent. **(6) AI Meeting Notes can trigger Custom Agents (2026-07-31):** a 'Meeting note summarized' trigger runs an agent after a call -- update a tracker, post a recap, file tickets. **NET:** no pricing change and no plan restructure in the window; credit billing ($10 / 1,000 credits) and the Business/Enterprise gating on Custom Agents stand. The direction is admin control and agent governance, which is what Enterprise buyers were asking for after the May GA.

PRODUCT (2026-07-09, vendor release notes): **Notion Workers are now shareable across teams** -- 'You can now share your Notion Workers': build a Worker once, distribute it to power Custom Agents across departments, with two permission tiers (`Can connect` = teammates use it; `Full access` = teammates can modify/repurpose it). Managed from the Developer Portal (Settings -> Connections). Example use: one teammate's Salesforce Worker powering sales + marketing agents org-wide. REMINDER on the money clock: Workers remain free until **August 11, 2026, when the credit system begins** (announced with Platform 3.5) -- shared Workers spreading through an org now will start metering then; audit which Workers teams depend on before the flip

NOTION 3.6 (2026-07-01, vendor releases page): the External Agents alpha from Platform 3.5 is now a headline feature -- **External Agents (Claude and Cursor first)** can be assigned tasks from a shared board, @-mentioned like teammates, and watched as they run; **multi-agent workflows** bring several agents into one UI to automate workflows end-to-end. Also shipped: **interactive HTML blocks** (agents build ROI calculators/quizzes/org-chart visualizers that live in Notion), **speaker identification in AI Meeting Notes** (mic-based) + audio file uploads, **Microsoft Office file support** (create/read PPTX/XLSX/DOCX), **Outlook Mail + Calendar integration**, 5 new MCP connections for Custom Agents (Mercury, Mixpanel, Miro, Box, ClickHouse), expanded model options (**Opus 4.8, Grok 4.3, GLM 5.2**), Custom Agent audit logging (Enterprise), and Windows CLI support. The 'Notion can't reach outside Notion' criticism is now largely obsolete

DEVELOPER PLATFORM 3.5 (2026-05-13, vendor releases page): Notion's biggest platform release of 2026 -- **Notion Workers** (hosted runtime: deploy custom code via CLI into a Notion-managed sandbox; **free during beta, pricing starts August 11, 2026** billed in Notion credits), **Database Sync beta** (sync any API source -- Zendesk, Salesforce -- into Notion databases), **bidirectional webhook triggers** (external apps can now trigger Notion workflows), Custom Agent Tools beta, a Notion CLI, an **External Agents API alpha** (Claude, Codex, and Decagon agents operating inside Notion -- waitlist), Agent SDK alpha, and a Developer Portal (app.notion.com/developers). Also notable: Notion MCP rebuilt to be 91% more token-efficient on database operations. Earlier in May: **Plan Mode** (5/7) -- agents ask clarifying questions and present a plan before bulk edits.
