Quick Stats
- Linear Agent is available in public beta for all teams.
- All agent features are included at no additional cost during beta.
- Automations and Code Intelligence are available on Business and Enterprise plans.
- The agent integrates with four major communication and development platforms (Linear app, Slack, Microsoft Teams, mobile).
Streamlining Product Decisions with AI
Product managers often spend hours gathering disparate information to make a single decision. Linear Agent changes this dynamic by pulling relevant data from the entire workspace—roadmap, issues, customer requests, and even code. When starting a new project, for instance, a user can ask the agent to find related issues, group them, and then extract common requirements to scope out a spec in minutes. This process significantly reduces manual research, allowing teams to focus on strategic thinking rather than data aggregation.The agent operates across various touchpoints. Users can initiate queries within the Linear desktop or mobile apps using Cmd/Ctrl + J, or by mentioning @Linear in Slack or Microsoft Teams. For example, a quick Slack message like "@Linear Make issues based on the discussion here and assign them to me" instantly translates conversations into actionable tasks. This ubiquitous access ensures teams can leverage AI assistance wherever their work happens.
Automating Workflows and Understanding Code
Linear Agent also introduces powerful capabilities for workflow automation. Conversations that lead to effective results can be saved as reusable "Skills," which are especially useful for recurring tasks like project catch-ups or drafting issues from meeting notes. Skills can be run on demand or automatically applied when Linear identifies an applicable scenario. For Business and Enterprise plan users, "Automations" extend this functionality, allowing agent workflows to trigger automatically when issues enter triage, refining or synthesizing new context without human intervention.A significant upcoming feature is Code Intelligence, which expands the agent's understanding to a team's codebase. Once enabled, non-technical team members can query the agent about how a feature works, who owns a system, or what recently changed, receiving reliable responses without needing to track down an engineer. This capability streamlines communication between product and engineering, further breaking down information silos.
Furthermore, Linear Agent integrates with a growing ecosystem of external tools. Integrations with Intercom, Zendesk, and Gong automate the conversion of customer conversations into actionable issues. This ensures product teams receive comprehensive customer context while customer-facing teams spend less time on manual issue filing. Integrations with AI coding tools like Warp and OpenAI Codex enable engineers to delegate well-defined coding tasks directly from Linear, allowing them to focus on more complex projects.
