Linear Agent is an AI-powered teammate integrated into the Linear product development system that automates issue triage, coding, and feedback processing to accelerate product development and improve team efficiency.
What is Linear Agent?
Linear Agent is an advanced AI assistant developed by Linear, designed to enhance product development workflows by automating repetitive and time-consuming tasks. Built directly into the Linear platform, it leverages AI to convert customer feedback from tools like Intercom and Slack into scoped issues, route feature requests to appropriate teams using Triage Intelligence, and draft product requirements documents. The agent also takes initial coding passes, opens pull requests, and reviews code before human approval, significantly reducing manual workload. Its architecture supports integration with external tools via the Model Context Protocol, providing comprehensive context and historical insights on codebase decisions. This AI solution is ideal for product managers, engineers, and customer experience teams aiming to optimize workflow efficiency and accelerate time-to-market.
