Notion Unveils Custom Agents for Autonomous Team Workflows
Notion dropped Custom Agents yesterday, letting anyone build AI teammates that run 24/7 on triggers or schedules, no manual prompts needed.[4][5] These agents tap into Notion, Slack, email, calendars, Figma, and beyond, automating team workflows at scale. It's a shift from solo AI assistants to always-on squad members, available to all users right now.
This democratizes agentic automation for teams, slashing oversight on repetitive tasks. The launch post racked up thousands of likes on X, with folks hyped for "always-on AI teams" transforming daily ops.[6]
Nimble Raises $47M Series B for Agentic Web Search Platform
New York startup Nimble scored $47M in Series B funding yesterday, led by Norwest with Databricks Ventures joining, pushing total capital past $60M.[7][8] Their platform deploys AI agents to scrape, verify, and structure real-time web data into clean, queryable datasets—turning the messy internet into "live tables" for enterprise AI.
For agent builders, this closes the reliability gap on fresh web info. X reactions poured in fast, spotlighting its potential to fuel agent accuracy without the data headaches.
SambaNova Unveils SN50 Chip, Raises $350M with Intel Collaboration
SambaNova announced the SN50 chip yesterday—touted as the fastest for agentic AI, delivering up to 5x speed and 3x lower costs than GPUs—paired with a multi-year Intel deal for manufacturing and cloud, plus $350M Series E led by Vista Equity.[9][10] Funds will ramp production and SambaCloud for inference-heavy workloads.
This challenges Nvidia's grip, especially as agents demand efficient, cheap compute. The combo news sparked X buzz on hardware's agent edge.
Dutch Startup Axelera AI Raises $250M+ for Edge AI Chips
Eindhoven's Axelera AI hauled in over $250M Series C yesterday—Europe's biggest AI chip round—led by Innovation Industries with BlackRock, hitting $450M+ total.[11][12] Cash accelerates their Metis chip and Europa platform for energy-sipping edge inference, targeting on-device AI without cloud dependency.
It strengthens EU AI silicon sovereignty amid the compute crunch. X sees it as peak hardware funding fever for specialized edge plays.[13]
What This Means For Your Business
Agentic AI is exploding: Notion's custom agents and Anthropic's remote coding show seamless, mobile orchestration entering everyday tools, while Nimble feeds them reliable web data. Hardware like SambaNova's SN50 and Axelera's edge chips promise cheaper, faster inference—critical as multi-agent systems (think MCP/A2A) scale beyond prototypes. Enterprises ignoring this risk siloed pilots; instead, design agent workforces now for 24/7 ops.
Up North AI's multi-agent orchestration and outcome engineering shine here—bridging tools like Notion agents with custom verification (à la Nimble) and trust reviews to ensure ROI. Code might be free, but judging what sticks in production isn't.
Key takeaway: Prioritize agent mobility, data pipelines, and edge hardware in your stack—before competitors automate ahead.
