Notion's New Credit System and What LangChain Learned Shipping Deep Agents
Notion rebuilt its AI pricing around a credit system right as LangChain shipped managed infrastructure for the exact kind of long-running agent that makes credit-based pricing necessary in the first place, and Figma's PM team showed what it actually looks like to run 60+ PMs on a shared AI skill repo instead of everyone freelancing their own prompts.

Notion - Agents Rebuilt to "Do More for Less," New Credit System Replaces Flat AI Pricing Notion shipped a reworked AI system built around smarter model routing, long-running agents, bring-your-own-AI (BYO-AI) options, and a new usage-based credit system. Akshay Kothari, Notion's co-founder, announced the change directly, framing it as a shift from flat-rate AI access to a metered model that reflects actual compute cost per task. |

LangChain - Managed Deep Agents Goes to Private Beta, Now Includes Browser Use LangChain launched Managed Deep Agents in private beta, a hosted runtime for production deep agents that bundles durable execution, sandboxes, tool access, and LangSmith observability so teams don't have to build the agent runtime themselves. The same week, LangChain added browser use as a built-in capability, letting agents operate inside a real browser for tasks like travel booking or subscription cancellation, with a handoff mechanism so a human can step in to sign in when needed. |
