New: Secure setup for Linear coding agent
Coding sessions can now access environment secrets during install to securely fetch private dependencies and other environment config.
New: Adaptive routing
Linear coding agent can now automatically select the right model for each issue. Save time and tokens by routing simpler tasks to a faster model, while using the default reasoning model for more complex work.
New capabilities for Linear Loops:
• Trigger from project, initiative, cycle, and issue changes
• Edit documents automatically
• Send tailored Slack updates

The best product feedback is often buried in sales calls.
Our product team uses Loops to automatically capture, synthesize, and review those conversations to surface the ones they care about most.
Linear's coding sessions now supports custom environments and browser use for testing and screenshots.
Configure runtimes automatically with agent, and setup necessary scripts and env vars.
We completely rebuilt the back end of our local-first sync engine on @turbopuffer.
Although unexpected, the inverted indexes efficiently evaluate large intersections, letting us narrow millions of possible sync actions. Read our blog post for the finer details.

Teams building with coding agents in Linear now ship 6.5x as much as those that don't.
That's one stat from a much bigger look at how teams build with AI, from analyzing real usage data in Linear.

New: Linear Agent's coding sessions appear now as live cards in Slack.
Follow along as the agent investigates and makes changes. When it’s ready for review, open the diff directly from Slack.
New: Coding sessions on mobile
Keep work moving from the Linear mobile app. Review code changes, comment on specific lines, and send feedback directly to the agent.
The "Show triage issues" toggle seems most likely from your screenshot, but if you hover over the message you'll see more info about which options are hiding issues.
You can now use Linear Agent to edit documents and project descriptions, or write loops to keep them up to date automatically.
Show author names to see which user or loop made a change, or trace edits through version history.
3/ Create platform-specific issues
When a new mobile issue is created, a loop determines whether follow-up work is needed across iOS, Android, or web. It creates and routes the issue with original context for the next team.
2/ Draft customer updates
When a customer-reported issue is resolved, a loop checks the PR that closed and generates a clear update that Support can share with customers.
1/ Investigate and delegate bug fixes
When an issue enters triage, a loop can review its context and the codebase to recommend a next step. When the path forward is clear, it can start a coding session for an immediate fix.
$20 in AI credits per seat, for every paid workspace. Delegate an issue, Linear writes the code and opens the PR.
Connect GitHub with codebase access by July 11. Credits are yours for 30 days from the day you connect.
New: Initiative properties
Initiatives now support priority, labels, and additional statuses.
Use priority to stack rank high level work, or group proposed initiatives by product area when planning.
A bug enters triage. Linear instantly labels it, runs a full code investigation, and opens a PR for your team to review.
Automated triage that actually closes the loop. 🔁
Walk through a large PR in the order the code actually flows. Spot a bug, ask Linear Agent to fix it, and watch the diff update live.
Code review without the tab-switching or file-sifting.
New: Agent assisted project updates
1. From an update, click Write with Agent
2. Linear drafts an update based on recent activity and Slack conversations
3. Verify, iterate, and post

New: Project Slack channels
Linear can now automatically spin up a dedicated Slack channel whenever a new Linear project is created. Project members are added instantly, and project updates are shared in the channel by default.
Plan and track your software releases directly from Linear.
Linear Releases integrates with your CI/CD tools to precisely track the deployment environment, version, and status of every issue, giving team members and agents your full deployment context.
Here's how it works ↓
Linear Agent × Code Intelligence
Ask Linear how a feature is implemented, why something behaves a certain way, or which technical constraints should shape a project plan – without digging through the codebase or interrupting an engineer.
In October of last year, Cars24, while preparing for an IPO, renewed its multi-year Jira license. Within a few weeks, the company would treat that contract as a sunk cost and walk away from it.
Here is why:

Introducing Linear Releases.
Manage software releases directly from Linear. Track the deployment environment, version, and status of every issue to give team members and agents your full deployment context.
Our approach to hiring is a little different.
We value slope over credentials, judgment over polish, and real work over interviews.
Here’s what the process looks like:

Ramp’s internal coding agent now writes 60%+ of their merged PRs.
With Linear as the underlying layer for structured product context, it can take on issues and work them to completion.
Here’s how they got there:

Linear Agent x @meetgranola
Connect the Granola MCP server to turn meeting notes into project specs, sales calls into customer requests, and 1:1s into concrete issues.
New AI tools promise to auto-generate interfaces, turn words to product instantly, or collapse design directly into code.
But that’s not the hard part of design.

New: MCP support for Linear Agent
Connect tools like Granola, Notion, PostHog, and many others to pull in context for creating issues, drafting PRDs, and writing project updates.
I love it! I hope the context menu gets cleaned up (shortened?) at some point, I always have to take a minute to read the whole list :( @charlieaufmann
Linear is now available for Microsoft Teams.
Mention @Linear in any Teams channel and the agent will create issues informed by your conversation's context.

Add high-level discussions to projects and initiatives alongside updates. Provide feedback, capture meeting takeaways, and discuss open questions.
Before we launched Linear Agent, we dogfooded it inside our company.
We used it across Slack, Linear, and our codebase for months and it became a core part of how we build. Here are three workflows that have proven most effective.
