Notion adds formatting, agents, and calendar tools for operational work

Notion is making its databases look more like spreadsheets and its workspace behave more like an operations layer. In its April 27 release, the company said rollups now support number formatting including USD, EUR, percent and decimal places, which lets teams show budget totals, conversion rates and other calculated values without formula workarounds.

That update fits a broader shift inside Notion. On April 17, the company added Mail and Calendar through a dedicated settings tab so Notion AI can help with scheduling meetings and drafting emails. On April 15, Notion Agent gained the ability to show a calendar, compare schedules and book meetings from chat. On April 14, AI Autofill moved agents directly into databases, making enrichment and upkeep automatic. In a February 24 post, Notion said Custom Agents were available across Notion, Slack, Mail, Calendar, Figma, Linear and custom MCP servers, signaling that the product is moving beyond notes and into the operational work that usually gets split across half a dozen tools.

For monday.com, the competitive message is hard to miss. Buyers are no longer just comparing task boards and docs. They want a place where reporting, summaries and calculations sit close to the work itself, without jumping into a separate spreadsheet or BI tool. That matters to product teams building workflow products, sales teams trying to explain value in enterprise deals and engineers deciding how much structure a platform can absorb before it starts feeling like an application layer instead of a simple workspace.

monday.com has spent the spring making its own case that the AI-agent era is now part of the product roadmap. On March 11, it said it was adding infrastructure so external AI agents can sign up, authenticate and operate directly within the platform. On March 23, it launched Agentalent.ai, a hiring platform for enterprise AI agents. The company says more than 250,000 customers worldwide use its platform, and as of Dec. 31, 2025 it had 4,281 customers over $50,000 in annual recurring revenue, 110% net dollar retention and 3,155 employees.

The latest numbers suggest the market is rewarding tools that can do more than store work. monday.com said 2025 revenue grew 27%, fourth-quarter revenue reached $333.9 million, and customers with more than $50,000 in ARR represented 41% of total ARR. It also said monday vibe became the fastest product in its history to pass $1 million in ARR. Notion’s update points to the same end state: the platform that wins is the one that can hold the notes, the numbers and the next action in one place.
