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.

What is Slite?

Slite is making its docs readable by agents before it finishes making them prettier.

Slite is a team knowledge base whose recent releases split between editor surface work and agent access. The MCP integration now exposes comment threads for reading and resolving, while the editor gained multi-column layouts and a reworked boxed shell that demotes Search and Ask to ordinary sidebar rows. The feed also carries recurring privacy-banner fragments that are crawler artifacts, not releases.

Notion vs Slite: editorial side-by-side

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.

Slite is making its docs readable by agents before it finishes making them prettier.

◆ Current state

Slite is a team knowledge base whose recent releases split between editor surface work and agent access. The MCP integration now exposes comment threads for reading and resolving, while the editor gained multi-column layouts and a reworked boxed shell that demotes Search and Ask to ordinary sidebar rows. The feed also carries recurring privacy-banner fragments that are crawler artifacts, not releases.

◆ Where it's heading

The MCP work is the load-bearing direction. Exposing comment threads — not just document text — means an external agent can participate in the review loop rather than only read the output, which is a different product than a searchable wiki. The layout changes read as groundwork; the release notes themselves say the sidebar rework 'sets the stage' for something larger.

◆ Prediction

The natural next step is writing through MCP — posting comments or edits, not just resolving threads. The boxed-layout note explicitly signals a bigger change behind it, but the entries don't say what it is.
