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.
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.
Linear Agent is an AI assistant created by Linear to streamline product development. It synthesizes product context, makes recommendations, and takes action directly within Linear, Slack, and Microsoft Teams. The tool helps product teams make faster, more accurate decisions by providing relevant information quickly.
Linear Agent reduces the time spent on manual research by pulling relevant data from roadmaps, issues, customer requests, and code. It allows users to find related issues, group them, and extract common requirements to scope out a spec in minutes. This helps teams focus on strategic thinking rather than data aggregation.
Skills are reusable workflows that save effective conversations for recurring tasks like project catch-ups or drafting issues from meeting notes. Automations, available on Business and Enterprise plans, trigger agent workflows automatically when issues enter triage, refining or synthesizing new context without human intervention.
Linear Agent is available in public beta for all Linear teams. You can initiate queries within the Linear desktop or mobile apps using Cmd/Ctrl + J, or by mentioning @Linear in Slack or Microsoft Teams. All agent features are included at no additional cost during the beta period.
Code Intelligence is an upcoming feature in Linear Agent that expands the agent's understanding to a team's codebase. Once enabled, the agent will be able to understand and assist with technical tasks, further streamlining the development process. Code Intelligence is available on Business and Enterprise plans.
