People said ‘don't overcomplicate it’ so I turned Notion… into a nutshell.

What happens if @NotionHQ starts showing ads?

[Tirthesh @Note_Shell]

@immasiddx It depends on your use

ICYMI: we added fresh cover art for your pages 🍐

From four new libraries:
→ Texturelabs
→ Hudson River School (The Met)
→ National Museum of Asian Art
→ USDA Pomological Watercolors

@easlonotes I've also built one:

[Tirthesh @Note_Shell]

I saw someone build Doom in @NotionHQ.

So I thought… why not try something myself?

Result: “Feeding the Lama”
A small game, fully powered by formulas.

After heatmaps, this might be my favorite build yet.
(Some ideas come from Habify....)

[Tirthesh @Note_Shell]

@wustep @NotionHQ Not yet, still working on game instructions. I'll make it public once the instructions are done :)

[Tirthesh @Note_Shell]

Check out Habify yourself:

Notion Custom Agents pricing explained:

• Free till May 3
• Then $10 / 1,000 credits
• Credits reset monthly (no rollover on unused credits)

Each task consumes different credits depending on complexity.

So you can’t estimate costs easily and the usage is unpredictable.

[Tirthesh @Note_Shell]

@DJEndoLive 300k? I've used around 500 credits. That's insane level of beta testing. That must be the reason why Notion banned you from the beta period.

[Tirthesh @Note_Shell]

@DJEndoLive @mschoening Yup. Especially for the Stock Market related templates like Trading OS or for finance tracker.

[Tirthesh @Note_Shell]

You can now build a currency converter inside Notion using Custom Agents.

Takes ~10–15 seconds.
Not perfectly accurate, but good enough for quick use.

But…

15 tasks used 182 credits.
Even failed tasks consume credits

Credits will matter a lot after May 3.

[Tirthesh @Note_Shell]

@DJEndoLive I've seen someone on reddit who had a similar problem. The problem with that person: When he downgraded his workspace from Biz to free plan, a window popped up and said, "You'll lose your 500 credits if you downgrade to free plan". The workspace was in beta but still showed it.

[Tirthesh @Note_Shell]

@DJEndoLive @mschoening Yep but since the the exchange rates fluctuate, you cannot use a statc number in formulas. Formulas don't have any function to fetch exchange rate data so we have to fetch the data using Notion AI automation and then it updates the rate and the value gets reflected in the formula

[Tirthesh @Note_Shell]

@mschoening npm i -g ntn && ntn workers init

[Tirthesh @Note_Shell]

@DJEndoLive @mschoening It's not about getting the exchange rate info. It's about automatically updating your database with the current rates.

[Tirthesh @Note_Shell]

Just 2 research tasks with Opus 4.6 for Notion Updates agent…

Boom. 210 credits gone.
After beta period, this is gonna cost real money.

Better approach:
• Use lighter models for simple tasks
• Use frontier models only when needed
• Set a credit limit

[Tirthesh @Note_Shell]

@mschoening @DJEndoLive Notion Worker, right? They are gonna be really awesome I think.

[Tirthesh @Note_Shell]

@mschoening @DJEndoLive Yep but you have to write a simple prompt for that. It's partially automated.

[Tirthesh @Note_Shell]

@mschoening Notion workers can solve this problem but since they aren't available to public yet, custom agents are suitable for this task. You can do it in many ways, manual input, asking Notion AI or creating an custom agent.
Though this is not the best way to use custom agents and I agree.
