Put an AI agent to work inside Linear
Connect Linear in one click and delegate the busywork: an autonomous agent that clears the triage inbox, sets priorities and labels, digests each cycle, and turns support conversations into clean issues. You set the autonomy, it does the work.
7-day trial · Cancel anytime
Fleece AI connects to Linear through managed OAuth and lets autonomous agents create and update issues, work the triage inbox, set priorities and labels, assign to teams, and move issues through cycles, projects, and roadmaps. Agents combine Linear with 3,000+ other apps — GitHub, Slack, Notion, Jira — so a support message can become a well-formed issue, a completed cycle can become a changelog, and a stalled project can raise an alert, all under the approval rules you set.

What a Fleece agent does with Linear
Linear is where fast teams track work — issues moving through cycles, grouped into projects and mapped onto roadmaps, with labels and priorities that keep the picture legible. The pressure point is the triage inbox: a stream of new issues that need to be read, classified, prioritized, deduped, and pointed at the right team before they can be scheduled. A Fleece agent sits on top of that inbox. It reads each new issue, understands it in context, and acts — it labels, sets priority, assigns, links duplicates, or moves the issue into a cycle, according to the instructions you give it in plain language.
Under the hood, the connection runs through managed OAuth — you authorize Linear once, and Fleece handles tokens, scopes, and refresh securely. The agent can create and update issues, read and write the triage inbox, apply labels and priorities, assign to teams and members, add comments, and move issues across cycles, projects, and roadmaps. Event triggers let it react in real time when an issue is created or updated, a status changes, or a comment lands — no polling, no delay — and scheduled flows let it run a cycle digest or a stale-issue sweep on its own.
What makes this different from Linear's built-in workflows and integrations is judgment. Linear's automations and integrations move issues on fixed rules and sync events between tools; they cannot read an issue and decide what it means. A Fleece agent reads the actual text, decides whether it duplicates something already open, drafts a comment that fits, sets a priority that reflects the real severity, and coordinates other tools to finish the job. And because Fleece agents work as a hierarchy — a lead agent delegating to specialized child agents — one Linear-facing agent can hand a GitHub cross-reference to one child and a Slack update to another, then report back on the issue.
What the agent can do in Linear
Triage inbox automation
Reads each new issue in the triage inbox, classifies it, applies labels, sets priority, and assigns it to the team that owns the area.
Duplicate detection
Searches open issues for matches, links duplicates to the canonical issue, and comments instead of letting the same bug pile up twice.
Prioritization
Reads severity and impact from the description and sets a priority that reflects reality, so the backlog sorts itself honestly.
Cycle hygiene
Sweeps for stale issues, flags items at risk of slipping the cycle, and moves or reassigns work so cycles stay realistic.
Cycle digests
Posts a cycle health summary — scope changes, blocked issues, at-risk items, what shipped — to the channels the team reads.
Approval gates
Anything sensitive — closing issues, bulk reassignment, external-facing comments — pauses for your one-click sign-off before it happens.
Automations teams run on Linear
These are concrete setups you can describe to a Fleece agent in plain language. Each one combines Linear with other connected apps.
Triage inbox: classify, prioritize, assign, dedupe
When an issue hits the triage inbox, the agent reads it, applies the right labels, sets a priority from the described severity, and assigns it to the owning team. It searches open issues for duplicates and links them to the canonical one instead of creating noise. Anything missing reproduction steps gets a comment asking for them, and a one-line summary is posted to the relevant Slack channel.
Bug intake: from support conversation to clean issue
The agent watches your support surface in Slack and turns real bug reports into well-formed Linear issues — a clear title, reproduction steps, environment, and a link back to the thread. It checks the triage inbox and open issues first so it does not duplicate, then sets an initial priority and notifies the reporter in Slack once the issue is filed and routed to the right team.
Cycle digest: health where the team lives
At the end of each day the agent reads the active cycle and posts a health digest to Slack: what shipped, what is blocked, scope added mid-cycle, and issues at risk of slipping. It cross-references GitHub to flag issues whose pull requests are still open, and can move at-risk items or open a follow-up issue when something has been blocked past your threshold.
Changelog: release notes from completed issues
When a cycle or project completes, the agent pulls the finished issues, groups them into features, fixes, and improvements, and drafts human-readable release notes. It writes the draft into a Notion page for review and posts a summary to Slack, so the changelog is ready the moment the work ships instead of being reconstructed later from memory.
How to connect Linear to Fleece AI
Create your Fleece account
Sign up and start the 7-day trial. You land in a workspace where agents, flows, and integrations live together.
Connect Linear via managed OAuth
Pick Linear from the integrations catalog and authorize it in one click. Fleece manages tokens and scopes for you; you can revoke access at any time from Linear or from Fleece.
Describe the job in plain language
Create an agent and tell it what to do — "clear the triage inbox: classify, label, set priority, assign, and dedupe, then post a cycle digest to Slack each evening". No flowchart building required.
Set autonomy and approval gates
Choose what the agent may do on its own and what waits for your sign-off. Sensitive actions like closing issues or bulk reassignment pause for one-click approval.
Run it on triggers or a schedule
Let the agent react to Linear events in real time — issue created, status changed — or schedule recurring flows like a stale-issue sweep or an end-of-day cycle digest.
Linear works better with the rest of your stack
Linear automations get powerful when they cross app boundaries. Pair Linear with GitHub to link issues to the pull requests that close them, with Slack to surface triage decisions and cycle digests where the team already talks, with Notion to publish changelogs and specs, or with Jira if part of the org tracks work there — all through the same agent, all under the same approval rules. Fleece connects to 3,000+ apps, so the stack you already use around Linear is almost certainly covered.
