@johnghutton There’s also that.

@NotionCoach I think they killed it by making it unusable.

I really can’t believe Microsoft killed the Office brand in favor of 365. Feels like a huge unforced error, and totally unnecessary.

I still can’t believe I made it to a Wall Street Journal article just because I wake up at 4:30.

@david_rosenberg @NotionHQ @laurasideral Ooh that helps! In my head this was for searching conversations. But I’ll take it! 👍

@NotionCoach @NotionHQ Hit the 🔍 top right of the screen. I think that’s the type of screen you’re after? But point taken! @laurasideral

Feedback for @NotionHQ AI App team: I miss the ability to select from custom agents without having to scroll through an endless list. It also makes it tedious to find an agent as its default sorted to last used. It looks like there’s currently no way to see all custom agents elsewhere. Great for quick chats but not so great for starting new conversations with different agents.

If your ceo isn’t wearing Ghurka pants on the daily, ngmi.

Hang it in the Louvre.

So many lingering ideas from yesterday's Notion Miami Meetup. The plan was a deep dive on Notion's new AI Custom Agents. We did get there. But the conversation kept pulling somewhere more interesting — how we set milestones for ourselves and our teams when the ground keeps shifting underneath us. Here was the takeaway that stuck with me: adopting AI-native workflows aren't really about productivity gains. Shaving 20% off your week is fine. But the real unlock is what happens when you free up enough human brainpower and energy that you start asking different questions. "Why not now?" instead of "maybe next year." "What does this look like at 100x?" instead of "how do we get 10% better?" You move faster and raise the ceiling on what you think is possible — because the boring work is no longer eating away at your time and energy. The pace of progress makes that hard, though. New model drops Tuesday. New tool Wednesday. Another agent framework the day after that. You can spend an entire quarter "experimenting" and end up in the exact same spot you started. A lot of last night's questions were some version of "how does Notion or Custom Agents compare to [other tool]?" Fair questions. But they surfaced something more important: before you compare features and functions, you have to answer a different question first — what problem am I actually solving? Tools only matter once that's clear. What actually moves the needle is boring by comparison: → Identify the real weak points in how you or your team work → Game plan a few possible solutions → Test the modality that fits the problem — not the one that's trending → Measure whether it actually changed anything Milestones are how you stay honest about that loop. Without them, every shiny tool will 'feel' like progress, but won't have a meaningful impact. The other thing I keep coming back to: as a solo consultant and a dad, getting out of my own head and into a room with other operators, founders, and entrepreneurs isn't a nice-to-have. It feeds the mind by learning from others — what they're working on, what they're building, and how they're doing it. Community isn't just a buzzword — it nudges you to shift your thinking by bouncing ideas off of others. Massive thanks to @thelabmiami for hosting us, to @NotionHQ for the support, and to everyone who showed up! One quick ask: I want one of our next meetups to be a Miami builders showcase — creators, founders, and entrepreneurs sharing what they're building in Notion and how they're building it. If that's you, or you know someone who fits, I'd love to hear from you. Dropping a "get involved" form in the comments. And if you're in Miami and want in on the next meetup, the Luma calendar is the place to be. See you in the next one! luma.com/notionenmiami

That’s the reframe.

Suiting up to host a @NotionHQ Miami Meetup: Swag: packed Make with Notion tote: slung Natural tones: layered Loafers: loafing Ambassador pin: affixed I'm whatever the Magic City needs me to be.

24 hours out from @NotionHQ en Miami! Quick brain dump on why I'm so bullish on what we're demoing tomorrow: Custom Agents are the first version of "build a team of AI agents" that's actually accessible to teams without devs. No custom infra, no API wiring, no going into the weeds. The fact is there are a hundred ways to build agents. The right tool depends on where your workflows already live today. But if your team's context already sits in Notion → docs, projects, databases, SOPs → you're not building a knowledge base from scratch to make an agent useful. You already have one. That's why it's almost effortless to spin up agents doing real work in the background. The substrate is already there. That's what we're getting into tomorrow. 🤖

We're walking through how to set this up live, one night only, 04/28 in Wynwood, rsvp here! luma.com/rqi8i82o

What a real team of AI agents looks like in practice: 1. One that knows your context 2. One that lives inside your tools 3. One that can handle tasks with speed and reasoning

Anyone have a referral link to @mercury? Probably making the switch soon.
