What is Botpress?
Botpress spent its last visible releases on the agent authoring seat — then went quiet in April.
Three releases account for all six entries; every one appears twice, once from the marketing changelog and once from the docs mirror. The Autonomous Node got a real prompt editor with a macro menu for referencing knowledge bases and variables plus a raw Markdown mode; Studio multiplayer was rebuilt for latency; the integrations Hub was redesigned; Knowledge Bases gained Linear, GitHub, Confluence, Google Drive and Notion as sources; and Studio picked up model selection for the Vision Agent and a --url flag on CLI deploys. The newest entry is from mid-April.
What is Notion?
Every release now lands on the agent: what triggers it, what it can reach, what it costs.
Since Notion 3.6 shipped External Agents, essentially the whole changelog has been agent infrastructure. Custom Agents gained a meeting-note trigger, calendar tools, and a one-click path to share docs into their context; Workers got usage tracking in the credits dashboard ahead of the beta ending; and the model picker now exposes scorecards for speed, intelligence and cost with a per-request effort dial. The one non-agent item in the window is high contrast mode.

Botpress spent its last visible releases on the agent authoring seat — then went quiet in April.
◆ Current state
Three releases account for all six entries; every one appears twice, once from the marketing changelog and once from the docs mirror. The Autonomous Node got a real prompt editor with a macro menu for referencing knowledge bases and variables plus a raw Markdown mode; Studio multiplayer was rebuilt for latency; the integrations Hub was redesigned; Knowledge Bases gained Linear, GitHub, Confluence, Google Drive and Notion as sources; and Studio picked up model selection for the Vision Agent and a --url flag on CLI deploys. The newest entry is from mid-April.
◆ Where it's heading
The work concentrates on two things: making the agent's prompt directly editable and inspectable rather than buried in UI, and widening the set of systems an agent can be grounded in. Both are builder-facing rather than end-user-facing, which fits a platform competing on how fast a team can get an agent into production. What comes after April is not visible in this feed.
◆ Prediction
On the visible pattern the next moves are more knowledge-source connectors and further Studio editor work; the three-month gap since the last entry makes anything beyond that unsupported.
Notion
6.3PMCOMMS
Every release now lands on the agent: what triggers it, what it can reach, what it costs.
◆ Current state
Since Notion 3.6 shipped External Agents, essentially the whole changelog has been agent infrastructure. Custom Agents gained a meeting-note trigger, calendar tools, and a one-click path to share docs into their context; Workers got usage tracking in the credits dashboard ahead of the beta ending; and the model picker now exposes scorecards for speed, intelligence and cost with a per-request effort dial. The one non-agent item in the window is high contrast mode.
◆ Where it's heading
Notion is assembling the unglamorous half of an agent platform - triggers, permissions, connections, metering - rather than adding capabilities. The sequencing is deliberate: agents that can act on your calendar and fire off meeting notes need a permission model and a visible bill before anyone runs them on a team. Surfacing model cost and effort to the end user points the same way, pushing the spend decision down to whoever writes the prompt.
◆ Prediction
The Workers beta ending is the next dated event to watch, and pricing for it is the likeliest announcement; expect further agent triggers beyond meeting notes and more connected tool surfaces on the calendar pattern.
