Notion killing Skiff-influenced email app since most users use AI agents instead
Notion is “going all in on using agents to run your inbox.”
TL;DR
- Notion is shutting down its Notion Mail service on September 22.
- The company acquired encrypted productivity startup Skiff in February 2024, which included Skiff's email service.
- Notion Mail was primarily built by former Skiff employees.
- Notion attributes the shutdown to most users utilizing AI agents to manage their emails, with over half of Notion Mail users managing emails without opening the inbox.
- User email history will remain in Gmail, but drafts and scheduled emails must be exported by September 21.
- Organizations requiring HIPAA coverage must transition off Notion Mail by June 30, 2026.
- Notion may continue to leverage resources gained from the Skiff acquisition for other productivity tools.
