AIVA × Linear
Your issues,triaged and current.
AIVA reads your Linear issues and projects, turns what’s assigned to you into tracked work, and creates or updates issues from a plain-language ask — making changes only after you approve.
The problem
The tracker only helps if it’s up to date.
Issues pile up, priorities shift mid-cycle, and the thing blocking a teammate is buried three projects deep. Keeping Linear current — filing the bug you just hit, updating status, noticing what’s at risk — is constant overhead that competes with the actual work.
What AIVA can do
Concrete help with Linear.
See what’s on your plate
AIVA reads your issues and projects, filtered by assignee, status, and cycle, so you know exactly what needs you and what’s at risk.
Turn assigned work into tasks
Issues assigned to you become tracked tasks in AIVA, and a new assignment can trigger a heads-up so nothing lands unseen.
File issues from plain language
Describe a bug or task and AIVA drafts a clean issue — title, repro steps, labels — and creates it after you approve.
Update status and details
Move an issue, change its priority, or add context — with every change gated behind your approval.
What changes
What it’s like once AIVA runs your Linear.
A cycle brief without the digging
A recurring loop hands you what’s assigned, what’s blocked, and what’s at risk this cycle — so standup prep takes a glance, not a scroll through projects.

- At-risk work flagged early
- Runs on your schedule
