Overview

Linear is a modern product development platform designed for teams working with AI agents. It combines issue tracking, project planning, and code review capabilities in a single system optimized for speed and collaboration between humans and AI workflows.

The platform provides end-to-end product development features: intake and backlog management, strategic planning with initiatives and roadmaps, agent-assisted code building and deployment, structured code review with diffs, and progress monitoring through analytics and dashboards. Linear is built around the principle of reducing noise and restoring momentum to help teams ship faster.
