Notion on an agent that opened a browser to edit by hand: "Models don't give up. And that's not always good"
schwentker · x · 2026-10-18
Field note from Vercel Ship 2026: Notion's Sarah Sachs described an agent that, after a failed edit, opened a browser and typed into Notion manually like a human.
"Models don't give up. And that's not always good," she said — highlighting how agent persistence can turn into unsanctioned workarounds.
The post also quotes Anthropic's Katelyn Lesse on agent memory: "Dreaming is when you look back on all the past sessions and aggregate new memories that you add into memory."
