Notal turns markdown notebooks into long-running systems agents work from. Write the plan once with notal blocks; each block becomes an activity with a role, cycle, and dependencies. Agents pull current work through MCP, execute, and log results back into the same record. The queue empties itself. When the cycle returns, the work comes back. Four marketplace prompts ship today: repo health, post metrics, billing review, restaurant opening. Free for one notebook, $5/month for twenty.
Quick launch update from today:
We shipped the next piece of the agent loop: activities can now be claimed atomically by an agent, with a token, lease, and metadata like model, runtime, OS, and session. That means two agents should not accidentally work the same activity, and the dashboard can now show what is actively in progress, who/what is running it, and when it started.
We also added agent questions. If an agent gets stuck, it can ask a blocking question, the activity pauses, and I can answer from a global Questions panel without leaving whatever page I am on. Once the question is answered or dismissed, the activity can continue.
The marketplace also got a lot more concrete. It now has real notebook prompts across Security, Developer, Cloud, Finance Ops, Operations, and Marketing, with complexity labels and examples so people can see what an agent-run notebook can actually build.
The original idea was “the plan should not die in the chat.” This update makes that loop more operational: claim work, ask for human input, resume, log the result, repeat.
