More Linear releases
Every Linear releaseNew controls for Linear coding agent
Coding sessions are the shortest path from issue to diff. Assign a task to Linear Agent, and it works in a secure cloud environment to write and test the code before opening a pull request for review. We’re adding more control over how each session runs, from its environment to the models behind it.
Loops for product management
Loops are recurring agent workflows for teams. They now respond to more workspace activity, including changes to initiatives, projects, and cycles. They can also edit Linear documents and post updates to Slack. Teams change project plans all the time.
Priority inbox
An active workspace can create a significant amount of notifications each day, and until now your inbox treated them all the same. The new Priority tab separates what needs your attention from what can wait, so something like a review blocking a release never gets buried.
Coding sessions: environments, browser use, and updated pricing
Linear Agent can now set up, run, and test your code before returning its work. That means fewer handoffs and changes that are further along when they come back to you. We’re also introducing lower, more transparent pricing, making AI credit usage easier to understand and control.
Team initiatives
Initiatives are Linear's way to manage product strategy and high-level planning across projects. Strategy may start at the company level, but teams carry it forward. You can now assign a team to lead an initiative, making it clear who is responsible for driving the work and how it contributes to the broader direction.
Coding sessions on mobile
Your coding session doesn’t have to stop when you leave your desk. Use the Linear mobile app to review code changes, comment on specific lines, and iterate with Linear Agent. Open any diff and switch to the Changes tab to inspect the code.
Text attribution and agent-assisted editing
Documents and project descriptions are critical context for your teams and agents. You can now edit text with Linear Agent, and use Loops to keep docs and project descriptions up-to-date. Author name indicators let you check if text was written by a colleague or added by a loop.
Introducing Loops
Loops are a new way for Linear Agent to take on recurring work for your team. Describe the job in plain language and then choose whether it should run on a schedule or in response to an event. From there, Loops use context from your workspace and connected tools to decide on the next best action.
