Why Notion is best positioned to win multiplayer humans-plus-agents knowledge work
ivanhzhao · x · 2026-10-05
Brexton argues Notion is best positioned to nail the multiplayer humans + agents paradigm:
- Consumer "personal" agents struggle because most people don't care about delegating tasks — the real use case is knowledge work, which compounds in multiplayer settings with coworkers and customers
- Notion already ships the multiplayer essentials: permissions, security, cloud, sharing — with native network effects
- It stays neutral: any model, any agent harness (e.g. Claude Code), even your own OpenAI subscription
- Key insight: people don't want to interact with someone else's agent, they want the output (docs, apps), consumed via their own agent
