Tuesday tech news: Notion AI updates and PostgreSQL 19 delay
Tuesday tech news: two updates worth a look 1. Notion rebuilds its AI agents and pricing (Oct 19) What changed: Notion says its agents can now work on a single task for more than 24 hours, up from about five minutes. The release adds computer and browser use, a "Review for me" approval mode, and an updated Notion MCP. Business and Enterprise seats now get 1,500 Standard credits (Notion picks the model) and 500 Select credits (you pick the model or run Custom Agents) per month. The new credit system is live for new customers; existing customers move over on Nov 2. BYOK is in alpha for Enterprise only, and an AI Command Center is listed as coming soon. Why it matters: If your team runs workflows on Notion AI, check how the two credit pools map to your usage before Nov 2. Notion's claim that its "Auto" router matches frontier models at about 90% lower cost comes from its own testing, so it's worth comparing on your own tasks.

PostgreSQL 19 release pushed to around Nov 19 (reported Oct 16) What changed: The Register reports that 8 to 10 significant features were pulled from PostgreSQL 19 and moved to version 20, including SQL Property Graph Queries (SQL/PGQ). Committer Peter Eisentraut attributed the reverts partly to LLM-assisted code review surfacing many edge-case issues late in the cycle. Why it matters: If you were planning a Postgres 19 upgrade or counting on SQL/PGQ, adjust your timeline. It's also an early real-world example of AI code review raising the quality bar on a major open-source project.
