Notion Mail service discontinued and replaced with AI
Notion platform announces unexpected decision The popular productivity platform Notion has announced that it will officially shut down its email service, Notion Mail, on September 22 of this year. Zamin.uz reported on this.
This step is a significant part of the company's strategy to move away from traditional inboxes and shift all processes to the management of artificial intelligence assistants. A similar report was also published on the Techcrunch.com website.
According to company representatives, user habits have changed drastically. Currently, nearly half of Notion Mail users no longer open their inboxes at all to read their emails.
Instead, they are entrusting the tasks of analyzing, sorting, and responding to all correspondence to smart assistants. Therefore, Notion decided to direct its resources toward developing automated systems rather than maintaining a traditional interface.
The superiority of AI assistants Although Notion Mail is ceasing operations, the company's AI-based assistants will continue to function. This technology is capable of performing complex tasks such as writing emails on behalf of the user, scheduling meetings, and sorting important messages.
This change is being viewed as a serious step toward the concept of a "mailbox-less" future in the world of modern technology. According to data from the ixbt.com website, the Notion Mail service was integrated with Gmail.
This means that the closure of the service will not damage users' emails. All correspondence will remain safely stored on Gmail servers.
However, users are recommended to export drafts and scheduled emails created within Notion Mail to another location by September 22. Competition and new strategy Notion developed its email service after acquiring the security-focused startup Skiff in 2024.
The product was presented to the public in April 2025 and was expected to compete with premium services such as Superhuman and Fyxer. However, market trends showed that users no longer want to manage emails manually.
Currently, new startups like AgentMail are working on the exact idea Notion is promoting: creating an email system designed solely for AI assistants. This news is also significant for Uzbek users, as the Notion platform is one of the most popular tools for project management among local freelancers and IT teams.
After the service closes, users should take the following measures. First, move scheduled and unsent emails to another platform.
Second, save automatic label and filter settings. Third, transition to new ways of working with email using Notion's AI assistants.
The company describes this decision as focusing all attention on the most effective direction. This decisive move serves as a guide for companies seeking to increase productivity in the modern work environment.
