Linear is actually growing faster than it has in years (across revenue, new users, and engagement). But how people are using it has changed. They’re leaning much more heavily into agentic workflows. Ignoring that shift would be the real mistake, so we’re leaning into it.

Claude Cowork is great when you want to collaborate with AI and third-party tools via MCP, but it's not a multi-user collaboration tool built for organizations. Our customers need to collaborate on software products and AI is only one part of the equation. Our customers need a system of record (long-term history, priority, and cross-team visibility of a project) and contextual collaboration (e.g. a customer success team member reporting a feature request or bug, a person on the product team deciding it's worth building/fixing). Claude Code is excellent for individual developer velocity (we use it a ton), but Linear’s agent is integrated into the workflow where the planning actually happens and is multi-player by design.
