Do Notion Agents support your own API keys?
Notion does not document a BYO API key option for Notion Agents. How Notion AI is billed instead, what you can pick, and task tools that accept your keys.
Not as documented. Notion's help pages don't describe a way to bring your own model-provider API keys. The AI runs through Notion, and Notion handles the billing.
Why this matters
BYO keys let you pay the AI provider directly at cost. Without it, the AI cost is bundled into whatever you pay the product. You can't see the real model cost, and you can't switch providers without switching products.
Notion Agents is a powerful tool, but its AI billing is part of the Notion subscription, not a separate line you control.
What Notion says
"Notion AI is included with paid Notion plans."
How to check
- Look in Notion settings for a field to paste your own OpenAI or Anthropic key.
- If there's none, the AI cost is bundled into your Notion plan.
