Notion's Token Town — Sarah Sachs, Notion
Notion is repositioning as a human-agent collaboration platform managing token costs sustainably.
“Today that collaboration happens between humans and agents. Humans and humans, agents and agents.”
Notion's AI engineering lead Sarah Sachs shares how Notion has evolved from a human collaboration tool to a human-agent and agent-agent collaboration platform. The talk centers on sustainable AI usage — managing token costs at scale without going 'AI poor' — with Notion citing significant AI usage growth in 2026. The framing is practical engineering guidance rather than a product announcement, targeting teams building AI-native products who need to balance capability with cost.
