Build, deploy, and govern production-ready agentic AI workflows
A visual canvas where retrieval, branching, tool calls, human review, and model steps form a visible, testable execution path you can debug and hand off.
Create agents through chat or manual configuration, give them skills, tools, and knowledge, then ship them as apps, embeds, or reusable nodes inside workflows.
Build repeatable ingestion pipelines for documents, sites, and drives, with extraction, cleaning, chunking, indexing, and retrieval testing before you go live.
Install model providers, tools, data sources, and MCP integrations once and reuse approved plugins across every app in the workspace.

The AI workspace where teams and agents get work done together
Combine docs, wikis, projects, and databases into one structured system of record that stays linked as your content grows.
Draft, summarize, translate, and answer questions inline, or build custom agents that automate recurring workflows around the clock.
Find answers instantly across Notion and connected apps, with citations so you can verify where each answer came from.
Use relations, rollups, views, and a large template gallery to model anything from a CRM to a content calendar.
