Notion as the shared layer: Grok Bot + OpenAI agent never talk direct

Two agents on different stacks need to collaborate without a chat bridge or shared memory mess.

What hurt

Michael (@Michael_Fenech_) wired Grok Bot and an OpenAI agent so they never talk to each other. Notion is the shared communication layer: clear roles (discover vs judge), one shared database, explicit handoff fields, async questions left as rows, decision history preserved, human as final approver. Tip only — no invented prompt. Not affiliated with xAI.

What to install or create

Role split. One Notion DB. Structured handoff fields. Async Q&A in rows. Human approves the irreversible.

Bots

  • Discover / gather agent

    Investigates, gathers evidence, leaves questions in Notion.

  • Judge / synthesize agent

    Reads evidence, assesses, recommends next steps. Does not overwrite the gatherer.

Plugins

  • Notion

    Required

Files

  • Notion DB with fields like Needs Review, Question for Agent, Assessment, Recommendation, Follow-up Needed, Response.

Routines

  • None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.

The prompt

This is a tip, not a pasteable system prompt. The author did not publish one. Follow the first-run steps.

First run

  1. 1Read https://x.com/Michael_Fenech_/status/2102909963253457365 for Michael’s full setup.
  2. 2Give each agent one job: gather evidence vs synthesize and decide.
  3. 3Create one Notion database both agents can read and write. Add explicit handoff fields (Needs Review, Question, Assessment, Recommendation, Response).
  4. 4Let them leave async questions in rows — no direct agent-to-agent chat.
  5. 5Keep yourself as final approver on irreversible moves; neither agent overwrites the other’s history.

Approval fence

No Notion writes that change decisions, spend, or publish without your yes. Keep the human as final approver.

What to tweak

Steal shared state + ownership + structured handoffs. Agents do not need a live chat room.
