Try Carly →What Carly can do with Linear
Create issues from email
Email Carly with the details and she'll create a Linear issue — title, description, assignee, priority, labels, whatever you include. No need to open Linear.
Update issue status or priority
Tell Carly to move an issue to "In Review" or bump something to Urgent. She'll update the status or priority in Linear and confirm the change.
Get cycle and sprint summaries
Ask Carly for a summary of your current cycle — how many issues are done, in progress, or blocked. Great for standups or end-of-week check-ins.
File bugs directly from email
Forward a bug report or customer complaint to Carly and she'll create a bug issue in Linear with the relevant details, priority, and labels already filled in.
Why engineering teams are using AI for Linear
Linear is fast — that's its whole pitch. But even in a fast issue tracker, the overhead of creating issues, triaging bugs, and updating statuses adds up. Product managers file issues after every customer call. Engineers update statuses during standups. Team leads check cycle progress before every sync. Each of these small actions requires opening Linear, navigating to the right team or project, and filling in fields.
AI tools for Linear let you skip the interface for routine operations. Forward a bug report email and the issue gets created with the right priority and team. Text a status update from your phone and the issue moves to "In Review." Ask for a cycle summary and get it back in seconds. The tracker stays accurate because the cost of updating it drops to near zero.
How Carly works as your AI Linear assistant
Carly connects to your Linear workspace through OAuth. Once linked, you manage issues and cycles by emailing or texting Carly — no need to open the Linear app.
Someone reports a bug in Slack? Forward it to Carly and she'll create a Linear issue with the title, description, priority, labels, and team assignment filled in. Want to bump an issue to Urgent? Text Carly and she'll update the priority. Need to know how your current cycle is tracking? Ask Carly and she'll pull the breakdown of completed, in-progress, and backlogged issues.
Carly is different from Linear's built-in AI or Slack integrations. She works across your entire tool stack — she can take information from email, Slack, or a customer support ticket and turn it into a fully-formed Linear issue without you copying and pasting between apps. She's the connective layer between the tools where work gets discussed and the tracker where work gets organized.
Who uses an AI assistant for Linear
Product managers who create multiple Linear issues per day and want a faster way to file them from email or Slack. Engineering leads who need cycle summaries for standups without pulling up the Linear dashboard. Startup founders wearing multiple hats who use Linear to track engineering work but don't want to context-switch into the app every time they need to file a bug or check progress. If you use Linear daily but wish the admin side were faster, Carly handles it.

What is the best AI for Linear?
Carly is an AI assistant that connects to your Linear workspace and lets you create issues, update statuses, file bugs, and get cycle summaries just by sending an email or text. Unlike Linear's built-in AI features, Carly works from outside the app — she can take input from email, Slack, or other tools and turn it into fully-formed Linear issues.
Can AI create Linear issues automatically?
Yes. With Carly, you can email or text instructions like "create a bug for the Payments team, high priority, assign to Marcus" and Carly will create the issue in Linear with all the fields filled in. You can also forward emails to Carly and she'll extract the details and file the issue for you.
How does Carly connect to Linear?
Go to your Carly dashboard, click Connect next to Linear, and authorize access. Once connected, Carly can create issues, update statuses, and pull cycle data from your Linear workspace.
Is Carly different from Linear's built-in AI?
Yes. Linear's built-in AI helps with things like writing issue descriptions and auto-categorization inside the app. Carly works from outside Linear — she's an assistant you email or text who can create issues, update them, and pull summaries without you opening the app. She can also pull context from Slack, email, or customer support tools and push it into Linear.
Can Carly create issues in specific Linear teams?
Yes. Just mention the team name in your message — like "create an issue for the Engineering team" — and Carly will file it under the right team in Linear.
Can I use AI to get Linear cycle summaries?
Yes. Ask Carly how your current cycle is tracking and she'll pull the breakdown — how many issues are completed, in progress, blocked, or backlogged — and send it to you over email or text. Useful for standup prep or async status updates.
