Route new Linear issues to the right team automatically

AI reads each new issue and assigns it to Engineering, Product, or Design so nothing sits waiting for manual triage.

How the work actually flows

A straight line.

The problem it solves

Someone on your team has to read every new bug report or issue and decide who owns it, and that triage work piles up or gets inconsistent depending on who's doing it. Issues sit unassigned longer than they should.

Who it fits

Software or product teams managing incoming issues in Linear.

How it works

  1. A new or updated issue is created in Linear
  2. The system reads the issue's title and description
  3. AI classifies which team the issue belongs to
  4. The issue is assigned to that team in Linear automatically
What you get

Issues that land with the right team instantly

You get every new issue assigned to the right team the instant it comes in, so nothing sits waiting to be sorted.

What you get

Issues in Linear that are automatically assigned to the correct team.

What you need

A Linear account and an OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
