AI Assistant for Linear

Arlo works as an AI assistant inside Linear — it creates and updates issues, sets labels and status, triages bugs from a thread, and answers "what's the status of X" from wherever you already work. You ask in Slack, iMessage, Teams, or on a call; every write waits for your approval and lands in an audit trail.

Linear is where the work is tracked, but filing and updating issues is the kind of overhead that piles up. Arlo connects to Linear as an AI colleague that handles it — turning a message or a Slack thread into a well-formed issue, keeping status current, and answering "where's this at?" without you opening the board.

Ask Arlo in Slack, iMessage, Microsoft Teams, or on a call, and it acts in Linear and reports back.

What Arlo does in Linear

  • Creates issues from context. Turn a bug report in a Slack thread into a Linear issue with a clear title, description, and labels — no copy-paste.
  • Updates and triages. Change status, assign, set priority, add labels, or move an issue along, from a message.
  • Answers status questions. "What's left in the launch cycle?" or "what changed on this project since Friday?" — Arlo reads Linear and hands back a tight summary.
  • Works across your tools. It can pull the detail from Notion or a GitHub PR into the issue, because it's one assistant across your whole stack.

Governed by default

Every write to Linear runs on a leash. The connection resolves through policy before a run, anything that creates or edits an issue waits for a reviewer you choose, and every action lands in a full audit trail. Fast issue hygiene, without an assistant reshuffling your board unsupervised.

Beyond Linear

Linear is one of 3,000+ tools Arlo connects to, and requests can span them — open a Linear issue, comment on the GitHub PR, and post the update to Slack in one go. For apps with no API, Arlo signs in once through a secure browser session and operates them by hand. See more use cases, or how Arlo works in Slack and for founders.
