Introducing Linear Agent
Introducing Linear Agent
We're excited to share the next major step in Linear's evolution. For the vision behind Linear Agent, read the letter from our CEO, Karri.
As execution accelerates, the bottleneck in product development shifts toward judgment: deciding exactly what to build and where your team's time, attention, and tokens are best spent.
Your workspace already contains much of the context needed to drive good product decisions, but getting to it means reading through threads, combing the backlog, reviewing customer requests, and piecing together what's relevant.
Linear Agent brings all of that context within reach.
Built directly into Linear, and accessible everywhere, Linear Agent understands your roadmap, issues, and code. It can help you synthesize context, make recommendations, and take action.
For example, when starting a new project, instead of manually researching past feature requests, you can ask Linear to find related issues, group them by relevance, and pull the right ones in. From there, ask it to extract common requirements across customer requests and scope out a starting point for your spec — all in a few minutes.
Linear Agent is powered by frontier language models and fully grounded in the context of your workspace. Use it to supercharge your everyday workflows:
- In Slack, send: "@Linear Make issues based on the discussion here and assign them to me"
- When writing a project update, tell it: "I’m writing an update for this project. What’s changed recently, and what should I include?”
- When planning your next cycle: “Read this backlog and pull out repeated themes that we can prioritize"
- When you come back from time off and need to know what's going on: “Is anything at risk or falling behind that I should be aware of?”
Linear Agent works with you wherever you are. Open a chat from the bottom-right of the desktop app (shortcut Cmd/Ctrl + J) or the mobile app, or mention @Linear in any comment or reply. It's also available in Slack and Microsoft Teams.
Skills and Automations
As you use Linear Agent, you’ll find workflows worth repeating. When a conversation gets you to a good result, you can ask Linear to save it as a reusable skill. This is especially useful for recurring workflows, like catching up on projects or drafting issues from meeting notes. Run a skill from the skills menu in any chat or with a slash command. Linear will also automatically use skills when it thinks they are applicable.
You can also trigger agent workflows automatically when issues enter triage. Every new issue adds context to your workspace, and Linear can intelligently help you refine, synthesize, or act on it.
Automations are available on Business and Enterprise plans.
Code Intelligence (coming soon)
We're also announcing Code Intelligence, a capability that extends Linear Agent's understanding to your codebase. Once enabled, it supports code-aware tasks like diagnosing app functionality and designing technical specifications.
Non-technical teammates can ask questions they'd normally have to track down an engineer to answer — how a feature works, who owns a system, what recently changed — and get a reliable response.
Code Intelligence is coming soon to Business and Enterprise plans.
Availability and pricing
Linear Agent is now available in public beta for all teams. Agent and Skills are included on all Linear plans. Automations and Code Intelligence are available on Business and Enterprise.
During the beta period, all features are available at no additional cost as we refine and expand the product.
At general availability, we expect chat functionality — in-app, in comments, Slack, and Microsoft Teams — to remain included in the base seat price. High-volume compute capabilities like Automations and Code Intelligence may move to usage-based pricing beyond a certain threshold.
We'll provide clear advance notice before any pricing changes take effect. Reach out if you have any questions.
