We’re winding down the Notion Mail inbox across web, desktop, and iOS on September 22.
We launched Notion Mail with a belief that your inbox should think like you—more personal to how you work and over time, more capable with AI.
As Notion agents have gotten more capable, we’ve seen more users hand off email workflows to them. Today, more than half of Notion Mail users manage emails without ever opening their inbox. So, we’re going all in on using agents to run your inbox.
We’re grateful to each and every one of you for building your routine around Notion Mail and trusting us with something that mattered as much as your email. More to come!
The Notion Mail Team.

Congrats @Zai_org for the incredible milestone!
I went to the @ElevenLabs Summit in Warsaw expecting better voices. I left thinking about where the whole AI race goes next.
We're entering the convergence phase. The first years of this boom were about breakthrough models, each company winning one narrow thing like reasoning, coding or building apps. Now everyone is moving sideways and up, into the territory next door. ElevenLabs started with the best voice model most of us had heard. Their bet now is that voice becomes the interface, and they're building the workflows, deployments and agent tooling that sit behind it.
Three things stuck with me.
The model is almost invisible now. Eleven v4 slides from a whisper to a full British accent and sounds like a person, not a narrator. Once the tech stops calling attention to itself, the interface question becomes the real game.
The agent builder is where the strategy showed up. A drag-and-drop canvas for building voice agents, closer to a product than a feature. The live demo wasn't a party trick: on stage at the Polish National Opera, an agent took a spoken request, opened a Notion-based copy of the Opera's website, and booked a ticket.
Although it was a demo of an personal assistant agent, it make me think of the opportunity ahead to get rid of the "Help Center" hell and let people actually call customer service thanks to human-sounding AI with real agency.
The answer to that came quickly as ElevenLabs has signed a deal with the Polish public healthcare to provide AI-based services to call patients and remind them of their appointments.
The honest open question. Do people actually want to talk to machines? I'm not fully sold yet. But for everyone who never made peace with screens and forms, voice might be the first interface that meets them where they are.
What made this different from every other AI event: it felt like San Francisco landed in Warsaw. The stage, the demos, the product-presentation energy we usually only watch from the US, happening in the city where ElevenLabs built its first voice model in an apartment a few years ago. The attendance from the President and Deputy Prime Minister as well as upbeat keynote from Mati set the tone to Polandmaxxing. Was amazing to connect and catch up with @K_Wojewodzic@TymonKoko@WojtekKardys and many others.
One personal note. Eleven Labs Co-founder @mati went to the same high school I did. Funny what that place keeps turning out.
I guess the name of the game now is not better models, but who first can tap into enterprise and public deals. With voice being their interface, Elevens have a fair chance of securing industries that still rely heavily on customer support and phone outreach. Fingers crossed!
@MattyCatss@WojtekKardys@mati@ElevenLabs Intonacja, płynne przechodzenie między szeptem, a podniesionym głosem, śpiew. Duży krok naprzód jeśli chodzi o naturalność.
This is the best product I've built in my career. 🩵
Almost a week has passed since together with Piotr Kacała 🟡 Katarzyna Wojdyła and 1200 participants we've closed AI Product Heroes 2. It was an extremely intense 5 weeks so after going off-grid for a couple of days, now it's time for some reflection.
Ever since we started AI Product Heroes we've had one mission: to transform people working with digital products from specialists to product builders. We strongly believe that with the emergence of AI tools it's high time to finally close shut the curtains on the product management theater and empower people to build. Power to the builders!
Last year 600 people joined. This year we've doubled it to 1200!
The numbers speak for themselves:
→ NPS of +78
→ Average rating 9.24/10 — with 8 out of 10 people giving a 9 or a 10
→ 69% told us the program answered their single biggest challenge with AI
→ 92% said the price was fully justified for the value
But what warms my heart the most are the stories of actual impact:
→ 72% now measure concrete time savings — on average ~6 hours every week. That's roughly 7 weeks of work reclaimed per person, per year. Some are saving 10+ hours weekly!
→ A real jump in confidence building products with AI (8.2/10 average), and the harder people leaned in, the bigger the leap
→ And career moves: new roles, a promotion, even new revenue — already, within a week of finishing
Some of the products our students built DURING the program:
→ A sales agent that analyzes incoming briefs
→ An internal analytics panel running 4 live reports inside a company
→ A tool that turns architectural technical drawings into project descriptions
→ A Figma plugin shipped as a standalone product
→ A chatbot on top of a company knowledge base
→ Consumer apps — one helping parents with kids' common illnesses, a daily helper for people with ADHD, even a family chores app used at home by 4 people
→ And a wave of personal "Second Brains" that became people's daily co-pilots
This is what AI Product Heroes is about. Real empowerment to regain drive, agency and the simple joy of being able to have an impact on your product and organisation.
This wouldn't be possible without the community of builders that joined! The chat meme-factory, sharing stories, interesting tips, helping one another. I've never seen a course where people were so eager to help each other. All that with smile, enthusiasm and sincere interest.
My hat goes to all of you! THANK YOU ❤️
Also many, many thanks to the entire BRAVE Team for giving us an opportunity to build this program and helping along the way!
As for now — time for rest.
Next? AI Product Heroes 3 and many more plans in the making.
Stay tuned!

@AlexFinn To me the editor stopped being the bottleneck a while ago. Codex vs Claude is a debate about a solved problem.
The new ceiling is what happens after the code is written.
@0xMovez The 2-3 person $1B thesis works because there's no org to absorb.
Drop the same 3 builders inside a Fortune 500 and they'll spend 6 months negotiating compliance for the Claude license.
@kostazanin 60 days that’s still generous. I usually tell people to give unrealistic deadlines unattainable without using AI. If they give up or show half baked work - they didn’t even try using AI.
Everyone says "PM is dead."
Wrong frame. The Product Builder is what PM was supposed to be — generalist who ships end-to-end.
What's collapsing isn't "PM." It's the theater layer: Product Owners, ceremony-runners, Group PMs.
The original founder-PM is back. This time with AI.
Wrote the full thesis. The numbers everyone cites (Cursor $16M/employee, Midjourney $200M with 11 people, entry PM postings -67%) plus what we're seeing across 1,800 builders shipping with AI in our AI Product Heroes cohorts: https://t.co/lNnP59O104
@TheDealMakerGuy Barely anyone used this tunnel. Warsaw is a post-socialist city with its over scaled roads and pedestrian tunnels. This is a welcome change.
@DarekMasniak Natomiast Amsterdam jest dużo mniejszym miastem niż Warszawa. Z centrum do Amstelveen 20min rowerem można zrobić, a to teren już podmiejski. Moim zdaniem ciężko porównywać obie aglomeracje.
@DarekMasniak Prawie nie buduje się małych mieszkań. Ale warto rozróżnić dlaczego - banki udzielają kredytów z zerowym wkładem własnym na pierwsze mieszkanie. Przed pandemią realne RRSO ~2%. Za 50tys EUR kupujesz mieszkanie warte 500tys. To po co kupować małe skoro stać Cię na większe.
