Switch to Linear

Linear is shaping how product teams build with AI.
Here is the case for why now is the time to move.

What’s happening

The way teams build products is changing

AI coding tools made individuals dramatically faster. But the faster your team moves, the harder it is to maintain a collective sense of direction.

Coordination has become the bottleneck, and most of the software responsible for it was designed for a slower, human-only era.

Introducing Linear

Linear is the system for modern product development

Linear is where product teams plan, build, and ship software. From bugs and feature requests through to projects, roadmaps, and company-wide initiatives.

Linear actively drives product operations forward. Building up a living picture of your product from every connected tool and conversation, then helping your team and their agents to act on it.

More than 20,000 teams have already made the switch, including OpenAI, Coinbase, and Block.

Why product teams are making the switch

Product operations on autopilot

Linear connects to the places where your team already talks to customers and discusses ideas, from Slack and Salesforce, through to Gong and support tools.

Context from these tools flows into Linear as issues, whether automatically or captured by your team in a couple of clicks.

Linear structures this context for you. Catching duplicates, applying labels, assigning tasks to the right teams. It’s like having a product operations team working around the clock, helping you to build up a picture of what you should work on next.

We’ve dramatically reduced triage time for bugs using Linear.

10x your building capacity

The best agentic coding and dev tools (Cursor, Sentry, Copilot, Codex) integrate natively into Linear. You can delegate work to them at scale, assigning dozens of tasks in parallel the same way you’d assign work to a human teammate. Their work shows up where the rest of your team can see it, and engineers verify code quality with Linear’s Code Reviews before anything gets merged.

Perplexity is known for shipping fast, and a big reason is our use of Linear.

You move fast without losing control

When your team and their agents are shipping work at this pace, you need to be able to see the full picture at any moment. Linear gives you that view at every altitude, from company-wide objectives down to what’s blocking an individual issue.

Work becomes legible to your entire organisation. A CTO can check whether the company is on track. An engineering manager can see what their teams are working on this cycle. An IC can focus on what’s in front of them.

Linear is the source of truth for what we’re building.

Higher deployment frequency

More than 75% of Linear enterprise workspaces have deployed agents to help them build. And the humans working alongside them genuinely enjoy using Linear. It’s fast, simple, and designed to stay out of your way.

The combination of higher engagement and agent-assisted development drives measurably higher throughput.

The companies pulling ahead

Linear is the tool of choice for more than 20,000 organizations, from ambitious startups to major enterprises, including Fortune 20 companies.

It’s never too early or too late to make the switch. Ramp has been building with Linear from the beginning, scaling to 1,000+ employees. Coinbase, Automattic, and Block migrated to Linear after decades building with other tools.

They switched to stay ahead as the way teams build products changes.
