Notion Executive Envisions Agents as Main Knowledge Counterparties
▶
Akshay Kothari of Notion shares a clip from Stripe's Patrick Collison and says Notion is planning for a world where AI agents are the main users of its product. He says the company's house view is that most knowledge exchange will occur between agents within about three years.

This clip from Patrick/Stripe is so good, and also eerily similar to what we’re experiencing inside Notion.
So much so that if you replaced the following words:
Stripe → Notion
transactions → knowledge
transact → collaborate
you’d basically get our POV!
“We’re thinking about: how are all the agents and the Claude Code instances going to use Notion directly themselves, right? Both the Notion product, and just how will they collaborate more broadly?
And so we’re thinking a lot about a world where, for most knowledge, agents are the counterparties on both sides. How does an agent sign up for Notion? How does an agent use Notion? Is MCP enough? What should the Notion CLI do? How do we make sure that everything in Notion can be orchestrated and conducted from the CLI, or in some other way that is accessible to agents? How will agents collaborate with each other? What surface will they use?
The Notion house view is that most knowledge will be between agents within, call it, three years.
It may not be the case that most of the knowledge volume is directly between agents, but I’ll be sort of surprised if there isn’t just a whirling vortex of reasonably small agent-to-agent collaboration.”
