Artificial teammates. Natural collaboration.

Linear is built for multiplayer work with AI. You can assign agents to any issue and mention them in comment threads, just like any other member of your team.

Agents for every use case, at your command

Choose from a variety of AI agents and start delegating work, from code generation to other technical tasks. Or build your own agent.

Orchestrate issues at scale

Delegate multiple issues in parallel
and monitor the agent’s progress.

Go from issue to code instantly

Open any issue directly in your AI coding tool of choice preloaded with full context and a custom prompt.

Backlog hygiene, automated

Keep your backlog clean and uncluttered with Linear’s auto-closing and auto-archiving features.

Modern sprint planning, purpose-built for software teams

Plan work in clear, time-boxed cycles. Linear keeps upcoming cycles ready automatically, so your team can stay focused and maintain momentum.

A fast and focused review experience

See every review that needs your attention in one focused interface. Open diffs instantly, respond quickly, and keep your team unblocked.

Remove view-mode condition

Review notifications you’ll actually see

Never miss a review request again. Every PR notification surfaces clearly in a focused inbox built for action.

Structural highlighting

Strip away formatting-only edits to focus on
code changes, not the noise around them.

Iterate with agents

Review feedback, resolved at agent speed. Make changes from the diff with agents and watch updates appear inline.

Review code in context

Each diff is tied directly to the issue it resolves.
No tab or tool switching required.

A clear path through complex changes

Large PRs are hard to review without a clear way in. Guided reviews walk you through changes in semantic order, separating out supporting changes and glue code.

Model how each team actually ships

Create a release pipeline for every product and environment, whether continuously deployed or released on a schedule, and see every version live in one place.
