Notion's AI Meeting Notes run on Baseten, and Baseten's knowledge base runs on Notion. Our teams have been working together closely to push the frontier on both fronts. For AI Meeting Notes, our voice engineers built the fastest, highest-quality, yet lowest-cost solution on the market for speaker-attributed transcripts. We're proud to partner with the @NotionHQ team.

Notion plans to increase headcount roughly 30% this year as CEO Ivan Zhao pushes the company deeper into AI. Annual recurring revenue has passed $600 million, but mobile usage is stalling. The Big Read:

Notion AI usage is compounding. Daily MCP calls are exploding (chart below 📈) and make up almost 1/3 of all our search traffic. Agent usage is almost quadruple our initial goals for the quarter. To keep up, we're hiring a wave of leaders. Context & Memories — Quality (EM) Context & Memories — Platform (EM) AI Security & Red-teaming (EM and IC) Generally talented people who want to have impact at Notion, even if no listing is perfect Retrieval and reasoning over everything you know, at 100M+ scale. Do it safely. Come own it. DMs open

The notion that phased Hamas disarmament should trigger phased Israeli withdrawals makes no sense. If Hamas goes from 20,000 serial killers & rapists to 10,000, should Israel withdraw halfway? And withdraw almost entirely when "only" 3,000 committed to another 10/7 remain armed?

The notion that all hardware is a commodity business is going to be flipped on its head this decade Unitree's IPO filings show that it has ~60% gross margins, higher than most AI labs Durable, high quality robots are going to be supply constrained. Developer and skill ecosystems will create moats around certain robot platforms. Companies that can create an amazing product will command brand premiums The force of capitalism is expanding beyond bits

Hot take: I find Notion really frustrating to use. Its blocks, DBs, tables, etc feel clunky and limiting to me. And the benefits of those abstractions seem lost now that agents can do most of the work. Like I still can’t add bullet points inside a table cell or have a functional basic spreadsheet in Notion… Claude Artifacts is much closer to what I want. But because artifacts are pure code, they’re not easily editable by humans. For example, making a small adjustment to a slide is painful. Is there a great shared workspace product thats editable by both humans and agents?

When interviewing at Notion ~4 years ago, I was asked how I'd approach segmenting our market. Oof. How do you find focus with a horizontal product, that's infinitely flexible, and used by 100M global users ranging from my 9 year old niece to execs at large enterprises? Sure, data and frameworks (a nice 2x2 never hurt anyone). But the answer is mostly "leave the building." Go talk to customers. Ask how they describe what it is you do, why they choose you, and how to serve them better? For Notion, those customers span what we call the Fortune 5M. It's the hottest AI startups, resilient small businesses, aspiring enterprises, and entrepreneurs building the next thing. Builders and operators inside ambitious companies. Ramp and OpenAI running their business on Notion. Toyota reinventing how their employees work. An up-and-coming UK agency like BrainLabs building their BrainOS. The supermarket feeding 90% of a continent. A coffee shop in NY. A small goat supply business in Addy, Washington (population: 210), automating work with 2,176 agent runs last month. They all have the right to benefit from AI.
