AI at Linear
AI has made engineers faster at writing code and given product teams better access to insights. But this progress has been scattered across different tools and chat interfaces.
At Linear, we’re bringing it all together. We see potential to use AI to improve the entire software development lifecycle. From planning and code generation, to QA and incident response.
In this guide, we'll touch on the ways we're doing it.
At a conceptual level, there’s three core areas where AI can improve how teams build products:
- Making sense of all your information and surfacing what matters
- Taking action on those insights systematically
- Connecting your existing tools so data flows seamlessly
Linear addresses each of these through our embedded AI workflows, agent platform, and our MCP server,
Product Intelligence: Managing information
Teams accumulate huge backlogs of ideas, issues, and requests that become hard to navigate. While figuring out which team a bug or piece of customer feedback should go to becomes increasingly difficult as you scale.
Linear's Product Intelligence tackles both problems. When new work comes in, Product Intelligence automatically suggests the right team, finds related issues, and flags potential duplicates.
This turns your backlog from noise into actionable context, and eliminates the manual work of routing and organizing information.

FAQs
Pulse: Managing information
As companies grow, answering the simple question “What’s happening right now?” becomes increasingly hard. Information is spread across tools, projects, and teams, making it difficult to get a clear, high-level view.
Pulse is a new way to stay in sync with your product organization through a personalized AI-generated real-time feed of updates and discussions. Delivered as a daily or weekly update you can read or listen to.
FAQs
Agents: Taking action on information
Agents are here, and Linear is where you orchestrate both human teams and AI agents around product development.
You can build your own, or choose from a variety of agents crafted specifically for Linear workflows by Cursor, Codegen, Sentry, and others.
Agents operate within Linear just like human teammates. Start delegating work, from code generation to other technical tasks. This turns every team member into a manager with their own AI workforce, giving you the leverage to scale output without scaling headcount.
FAQs
Linear MCP: Connecting information
Through our official MCP, you can connect Linear directly to the AI tools you already use - Cursor, Claude Code, ChatGPT, and more.
Pull Linear context into your AI tools or push information back to Linear, without switching apps.

Roadmap
We're building Linear into the command center for AI-assisted product development. This means creating a unified environment where AI and agents work alongside human teams across your entire product organization.
