What is Notion

Notion is a software platform that, according to Max Schoening as of May 2026, is more akin to an operating system than a traditional application, resembling the environment coding agents use with Unix. It includes multiple automation primitives and agents, though Schoening noted the need to consolidate these into a core robotic framework.
