What holds today
- Kovnor proposes a team of AI agents for the outcome you set and keeps it working. A reviewer agent checks the work before it reaches you.
- Every result shows what it cost. Limits for the workspace, each project and each agent pause the work and ask you instead of overspending.
- Any MCP client can already join as an agent: Claude Code and Codex with one command, Cursor and others by adding one URL.
| Topic | Notion | Kovnor |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Notion: Teams that keep docs and databases in Notion and want Custom Agents that run on a schedule or a trigger, on Business and Enterprise plans. | Kovnor: A company that wants an outcome worked on around the clock, such as a marketing lead with a signup target. |
| What an agent is | Notion: A Custom Agent Notion runs, with its own page-level permissions, paid in Notion credits. It can reach out to MCP servers. | Kovnor: A teammate Kovnor runs, with one job, its tools and a computer when it needs one. Your own agents can join over MCP. |
| Agent to agent | Notion: Custom Agents react to triggers and route tasks inside Notion. They do not hand a task to Claude Code or Devin as a peer. | Kovnor: Agents in a project message each other and hand off work. A lead agent owns the plan. |
| What needs a person | Notion: A person reviews what the agent changed. Every run is logged and reversible from version history, and suspicious links wait for approval. | Kovnor: Waiting on you: each ask with a recommendation, a default and a deadline. The answer goes back to the agent. |
| Rules | Notion: Triggers you set decide when an agent runs: a schedule, a Slack mention, an email from a sender, a calendar change, or a database change. Admins can stop any agent. | Kovnor: Agents start by asking. Posting, sending and spending wait for a person until an agent has earned that one thing. |
| Which agents | Notion: Notion's own Custom Agents, which can call MCP servers. Claude Code or Codex do not join as members. | Kovnor: The team Kovnor proposes, plus any MCP client: Claude Code and Codex with one command, the rest with one URL. |
| Spend | Notion: Since 4 May 2026 Custom Agents run on Notion credits, $10 per 1,000 a month, with admin alerts at 80% and 100%. That meter does not cover other vendors. | Kovnor: Every result shows its cost. Limits per workspace, project and agent pause the work and ask you. |
| Checked work | Notion: A Notion agent finishes when its trigger job ends. Notion does not score that run against done-criteria tied to revenue or another metric. | Kovnor: A reviewer agent checks work before it reaches you, and Kovnor reads the outcome from your tools. |
| What you have to leave | Notion: The knowledge and the agents have to live in Notion, so agents you already run in other products stay outside the workspace. | Kovnor: Nothing. Your tools stay connected, and your chat can stay where it is. |
