The internet is a wonderful place. Sending my best to Kevin.

I have stage 4 cancer. I thought I'd fight it alone.

I was wrong.

Since mid October, ~20 strangers on X have stepped up to help me. All for free so far:
- An NYU Langone lab offered to run my tumor data through their system to sharpen my vaccine targets
- A U Michigan lab offered to test drugs on my actual tumor cells
- A biotech ran AI analysis on my tumor RNA
- A vaccine company offered to design a second vaccine to check the first one

Scientists. Engineers. People I've never met.

Cancer has been picking us off one at a time for all of human history. It counts on us fighting it alone, scared and quiet.

Not anymore.

We have AI. We have the internet. We have each other.

Cancer, we're coming for you, bitch. Buckle up!

@CristinaCriddle Congrats!

Last night, we published a security bulletin in connection with the Fireworks incident. At this point, we've reached out to all affected Notion customers. Our teams are available 24/7, should you have any questions.

Using Notion as a “brain” for Grok Bot has been an incredible productivity hack, and how I built my fleet.

All my rules, skills, and routines are written back to Notion. Bots are also responsible for maintaining task boards in Notion (what’s waiting on me, waiting on others, or blocked)

This is easier for me to visually scan and decide where to jump in at any given moment.

Enables me to maintain clarity across 100s of customer, prospect, and internal conversations

I didnt have to design my @NotionHQ setup either - I just pointed @bot to Notion’s docs and told it to figure it out.

I grew up learning English, Hindi, Gujarati and Sanskrit at school. And Marwari at home.

@woojoonjang DMing you now

[Akshay Kothari @akothari]

Big update today: We've meaningfully upgraded our AI capabilities inside Notion. You can now do much more complex things (computer + browser use!), let the AI run much longer (up to 24 hours!), and do all of this in a much more secure setup.

We've also overhauled our pricing and packaging. Instead of having different products on different versions of our plans, all AI capabilities now run on credits.

The vast majority of you will never have to think about credits because a) you'll have plenty to use each month, and b) the new auto-mode makes things an order of magnitude more efficient.

Our most advanced users will now have the flexibility to choose the best intelligence-to-price option. This includes bringing your ChatGPT subscription, using your own tokens (via BYOK), leveraging MCP, or buying credits from us (only when the math makes sense!).

The credit model is similar to what several other companies (Anthropic, OpenAI, Cursor) have adopted over the past year. We're adopting it today so we can keep bringing you the most advanced AI capabilities while giving you more control over what you use and what you spend.

I shot a quick video to explain all of this, and I'll be on the Twitters all day answering your questions:

[Akshay Kothari @akothari]

You can now:
- Use Notion and leverage all OpenAI models
- Use ChatGPT and leverage Notion via MCP
- Use Notion w/ your ChatGPT subscriptions
- (and today) Use ChatGPT with Notion plugin

And yes, we're working on (and very excited about) enabling this with other providers too. LFG!

[Notion @NotionHQ]

We made a Notion plugin for @ChatGPT!

Use the real Notion editor, right inside ChatGPT. Create a page, watch it take shape as you chat, and jump in to edit it yourself.

All without leaving Chat.

@atShruti I know, I could really feel his love 😅

Here's a proper walkthrough from @nbaschez

[Notion @NotionHQ]

The more you work with an agent, the better it gets at working with you.

With all your agents using the same memories and skills in Notion, they can build on what the others have learned. No starting from scratch or lock in.

Here's @nbaschez showing how it works:

[Akshay Kothari @akothari]

If you liked my scrappy agent vault thing from a few weeks ago, then you will love this new setup. Much more self-driving!

For any other agent, paste: "Help me set up Notion as my context system using this guide: https://t.co/FKj911Czh4"

My eras tour

[Akshay Kothari @akothari]

My favorite thing about working with Ivan is how he connects what we’re going through today to fascinating people and moments in history.

As they say, history doesn’t repeat itself, but it rhymes. Excited to kick off a new era!

Building core product abstractions at @NotionHQ is challenging because the product has a huge surface area which is, by design, interconnected. But there's a big payoff on the other side once the new composable primitive exists: emergent behaviors "just work" and layers of functionality come "for free."

[Akshay Kothari @akothari]

@RenuMukherjee1 Screw Bo. Pardon my French.

[Akshay Kothari @akothari]

@larsencc @bot Super cool! Would love to see a walkthrough, if easy to do.
