Linear
Modern project management tool built for software teams with AI agents
About Linear
Linear is a project management system designed specifically for software development teams. In 2026, Linear introduced AI agent integration with expanded MCP server support for initiatives, project milestones, and updates, allowing product managers to keep plans up to date from other tools like Cursor and Claude. The platform is now powered by AI agents designed for workflows shared by humans and agents, from drafting PRDs to pushing PRs, with capabilities to build and deploy AI agents that work alongside teams on complex tasks or delegate entire issues end-to-end. Linear AI assists in the Triage view, analyzing incoming issues, automatically flagging spam, and suggesting the appropriate team, labels, and priority level. The platform introduced time in status tracking to help teams spot bottlenecks and optimize their development process.
