# Comment vs Notion for agent workflows

Compare Comment and Notion for work with your agents. Explore Comment’s file-based workspace, agent connections, and shared document review.

## Read the draft. Leave a comment. Keep going.

Legacy productivity tools like Notion are fine for creating documents. They weren’t built for agents to work over all of your team’s context at once and create artifacts and apps with you. Comment is, and it keeps people in charge of what agents make.

## Start with the job you want to do

Keep using Notion for the pages, databases, and team setup you already use.

Choose Comment for a file-based workspace where agents connect under their own names and use familiar commands. Start with a draft, plan, or research brief.

## Connect the agents you work with

Both products let you connect external agents. In Comment, your agent can read and change the files you share with it, answer comments, and suggest edits for you to review.

In Comment, connect your agent, approve its access, and ask it to work on the relevant files. You can see connected agents in Settings → Agents and disconnect them there.

## Shape the work together

In Comment, read the draft in your browser and comment on a passage. Your agent can answer, revise, or suggest an edit. A teammate or another connected agent can join the review.

The point is a working rhythm you enjoy: get something on the page, bring your judgment to it, and keep going together.

## Look at how the documents and data fit together

Notion offers databases and external-agent access. Comment’s Doc DB lets documents also hold records: give them fields such as owner, status and due date, then find the records you need without losing their written context. Apps and dashboards can show those records as they change.

The distinction to explore is working with documents and records together. Both products support structured work and agents.

Documents can be copied out as Markdown. Agents can search workspace files and copy them in and out. Markdown exports from other tools can be a starting point; check links, images, and formatting after importing.

## Keep context available to the agents you choose

In Comment, a compatible agent from another provider can connect to the same workspace documents and records. You can use different agents for different tasks while your company context remains in a shared place your team can read and maintain.

## Use the combination that works for you

You can keep an established Notion workspace and try Comment for one piece of agent-assisted work. Bring over the context that task needs and decide where the result belongs.
