Notion announced Claude Managed Agents, a third way to utilise Claude’s intelligence directly within the Notion workspace.

This update introduces a hybrid infrastructure where Notion serves as the collaboration layer, while Anthropic handles the agent’s “harness” and processing power. Unlike previous ways, where you either built a Custom Agent in Notion or used Claude externally via MCP, managed agents enable deeper, more seamless delegation of complex tasks. It combines the structured data environment of Notion with the advanced reasoning of Anthropic’s managed infrastructure

This is currently in early alpha – we’ll keep you posted on the public release
