Notion has launched Database Agents, a new automation layer designed to act as “little librarians” that keep your databases up to date using context from your pages, workspace, and the web.

Databases turn into active, self-correcting systems. Filling in missing metadata or cross-referencing district information from the web is easier than ever. By setting triggers like “On page creation”, these agents can automatically populate properties, such as finding the distance to go somewhere or categorizing entries. This ensures total data consistency and removes the “we’ll update it later” bottleneck.

To enable this on Business or Enterprise plans, open a database and look for the Agents menu. From there, you can define a “fill-in” property, set triggers (such as on-page update), and select your data sources, including “Anything on the web” or specific “Other workspace pages”.
