What your fellow does in Linear

✓ Triages new issues. Reads the report, classifies (bug, feature, chore), tags, and routes to the right team
✓ Drafts technical specs as Linear documents. Kai pulls context from your codebase and writes a first draft
✓ Updates issue status, assignee, priority, and labels after every Slack-mentioned dev discussion
✓ Pulls roadmap state. Ask 'what's in this cycle' in Slack and get a real-time answer
✓ Watches blockers. If an issue is blocked or stale, Kai flags it and pings the owner
✓ Connects bug tickets back to support. When Patch handles a Zendesk ticket, the linked Linear issue gets updated

How it works

1

Connect during fellow setup.

During your fellow setup call, we connect Linear via OAuth. We scope which teams, projects, and issue types Kai can read and write.

2

The fellow learns your Linear.

Kai learns your team structure, your labels, your cycle cadence, your custom workflows. By the time Kai joins your Slack, Kai works in Linear the way your engineering team works in Linear.

Common workflows your team can run

Bug triage

A new bug lands. Kai reads it, sets priority, tags it, assigns to the right team, and posts the summary in #engineering.

Spec drafts

A PM asks for a draft spec for a feature. Kai pulls context, writes a first draft as a Linear doc, and parks it for review.

Roadmap status

Anyone asks "what's in this cycle" in Slack. Kai pulls live cycle data and posts the answer.

Don't see your tool? We build it.

FellowHire is not a directory of 3,000 integrations. We build the integrations your fellow needs. If you run on Jira, GitHub Issues, Shortcut, or something else, that does not mean we cannot connect to it. It means we will scope it during fellow setup. Tell us what you run on. We will make it work.
