I love watching and learning from YouTube videos but I hate scrolling the app or letting the algorithm decide what I see. I built a Notion custom agent to curate a daily video note based on your actual interests and come up with ways for you to apply what you've learned from the videos it chooses.
It will walk you through setting up your database and let you pick some topics you're interested in to get started. You get a daily video note at the top of your database every morning at 7:00 AM local time (you can adjust this, of course).
It has an embedded YouTube video based on something you're interested in and some personalized context for you to follow up with what you've learned from it or how to apply it to your work & projects.
Then you leave a one to five review on how interesting and engaging the video it chose was. This informs future video choices for the next month.
Every 30 days the agent will ask you if there are any topics you want to add into your rotation or remove so that nothing gets stale.
More learning, less scrolling YouTube! Thanks to Notion Custom Agents 🫡

Say hello to Pitching Pat, and goodbye to wasting hours each day applying to jobs! 🤩
Every freelancer faces the same thing: when you’re fully booked, you don’t have time to pitch - and when your projects end, you’re left with an empty pipeline and a "cold start" problem.
Pitching is the most critical part of freelancing, yet it’s often the first thing to be neglected 😬
The solution: Pitching Pat - a Notion Custom Agent designed to turn that pitching grind into a quick, seamless process.
How it works:
The freelance brain 🧠: a centralized "source of truth" where the user inputs their services, portfolio, ideal clients, and unique brand voice.
The leads database: you drop in the job descriptions (via the save to Notion extension, or manually).
Pitching Pat: she cross-references the job against its brain to rate the job fit from 1-10, and if it scores 5+, she drafts a pitch that sounds exactly like you ✨
Impact: saves freelancers several hours a week by removing the "blank page" friction of filtering through and applying to jobs.
Reliability: by grounding the Agent in a specific "brain" page, it eliminates AI hallucinations and ensures every pitch is backed by REAL portfolio results ✅
Craft: designed for a "low-friction" setup - no complex third-party automations required - it’s a self-contained Notion ecosystem.
Durability: whether you’re a video editor today or a copywriter tomorrow, you simply update the "brain" page and the system evolves with your business 🙌
PS: the agent hasn't been approved yet, been going back and forth with Notion on some details, and currently waiting their response, but this is the link: https://www.notion.so/agent/331eb5f7-8d81-80ce-8157-009266613a90
Sounds like a must have
Would love to try it out
