Who is building/using agents for Linear?
Linear for Agents is now GA. Who is building or using an agent for Linear?
We recently built one for using Bucket feature flags within Linear (and shared some of our lessons learned). Would love to hear from others building or using agents. We're just getting started with our Linear integration and are keen to get feedback. We've plans to add:
Feedback/adoption result summaries to the agent
Support for an access summary embed whenever a link to a feature on Bucket is dropped
Plus, integrate our feedback function with Linear's customer requests - making it possible to capture customer requests directly from within your application
If you've tried it, or if you're up beta testing what's next, let me know.

Oh! We use an app called Alfred.sh - it's an AI PM Agent. I use it all the time. I have a conversation with Alfred over Slack, and when I'm ready I tell Alfred to write a ticket to Linear. It's great. I can make edits to tickets. I can ask him to check if a ticket has already been made. I've asked the CEO to join Product Hunt so he can join this conversation! :D
@laura_cruickshanks Thank you Laura! Sorry just joined.
Yes, we have been very early adopter of @Linear agent! Quick takeaways:
https://www.alfred.sh/ is a really a collaborative PM teammate that human PMs, engineers, etc can delegate tasks to. This means Alfred has been writing Linear tickets for Human PMs, engineers, etc.
Working well:
"on behalf of" feature -- this is awesome. It allows Alfred to attribute the work to humans (and not take credit for their work)
For example Alfred takes a rough PRD, or ideas and massively created 10 fully fleshed out Linear tickets, the on-behalf-of field shows that the human PM owns those tickets! This makes human PMs looks super awesome while the agent did the heavy-lifting of writing up each individual tickets with all the details (acceptance criteria, tickets, etc) filled in.
the api is also pretty awesome for then attaching docs, images, etc.
Not fully baked:
The api doesn't work well yet when it comes to attaching videos. Happy to share more! Please feel free to reach out!
We’re testing an internal agents that auto-updates issue statuses based on GitHub activity. It’s not perfect, but it reduce a lot of manual updates.

We’ve built both one-shot and chat-based agents for Linear. Our logic interprets GitHub events such as pull requests and deployment reviews, and propagate context back to related Linear tickets. In our assistant, users can also ask questions about their Linear workspace (from issue status and ownership to recent activity) and get contextual answers in real time.

@dkargatzis Oh nice, so it's updating issue statuses based on PRs being merged and reviews being completed?
Warestack
Exactly - you can have a look here! Watchflow is the agentic part for GitHub events, it reacts to PR merges, reviews, and deployments. It posts comments directly on PRs, updates check statuses based on your custom rules, and can block deployments using GitHub's protection rules.
You can check out the open-source repo here: https://github.com/warestack/wat...
Linear and Slack additions are part of Warestack!
Let me know if you give it a spin - feedback and ideas are always welcome!
My simplest idea for Agents is that they should be able to summarize what I've done in the past. Right now, it seems like I have to manually organize everything, which is too troublesome

@hi_caicai Like a daily digest of things you did?
The most crucial thing isn't about my own affairs, but rather what the research and development staff and the entire team have done over the past period
