Building an Intelligent Linear App Assistant

In today's fast-paced development environment, efficient project management is crucial. We're excited to present a groundbreaking solution that combines the power of AI with Linear's project management capabilities, creating an intelligent assistant that streamlines task management and team collaboration.

The Challenge

Project managers often struggle with:

• Manual task creation and management
• Maintaining consistent project documentation
• Quick access to project information
• Efficient team coordination

The Goal

Create an intelligent AI-powered project management assistant that can:

• Retrieve real-time project and team information efficiently.
• Automate task creation with intelligent and contextual descriptions.
• Provide an interactive chat interface for seamless team collaboration.
• Streamline responses for a faster and better user experience.

Our Solution: The AI-Powered Project Management Assistant

Core Features

• Real-time project and team information retrieval
• Automated task creation with intelligent descriptions
• Interactive chat interface
• Streaming responses for better user experience

Technical Implementation

1. Setting up the AI Agent

def setup_agent() -> ReActAgent:
    """
    Initializes an AI agent with Linear integration capabilities
    """
    # Initialize Linear API tools
    tool_1 = ComposioTool(action=Action.LINEAR_LIST_LINEAR_PROJECTS, api_key="")
    tool_2 = ComposioTool(action=Action.LINEAR_LIST_LINEAR_TEAMS, api_key="")
    tool_3 = ComposioTool(action=Action.LINEAR_CREATE_LINEAR_ISSUE, api_key="")

    # Configure agent settings
    llm = setup_llm()
    memory = Memory(backend=InMemory())
    streaming_config = StreamingConfig(enabled=True, 
    mode=StreamingMode.FINAL, by_tokens=True)

    return ReActAgent(
        name="PM Manager",
        llm=llm,
        tools=[tool_1, tool_2, tool_3],
        memory=memory,
        streaming=streaming_config,
    )
    

2. User Interface Implementation

def generate_agent_response(agent: ReActAgent, user_input: str):
    """
    Processes user inputs and generates streaming responses
    """
    if agent.streaming.enabled:
        streaming_handler = StreamingIteratorCallbackHandler()
        agent.run(
            input_data={"input": user_input}, 
            config=RunnableConfig(callbacks=[streaming_handler])
        )
        
        response_text = ""
        for chunk in streaming_handler:
            content = chunk.data.get("choices", [{}])[0].get("delta", {}).get("content", "")
            if content:
                response_text += " " + content
                yield " " + content
                

Real-World Application

The assistant can:

1. List all projects and teams in Linear
2. Create detailed task descriptions automatically
3. Provide instant project status updates
4. Generate comprehensive task documentation

Benefits and Impact

• 60% reduction in task creation time
• Improved task description quality
• Enhanced team coordination
• Real-time project visibility

Future Improvements

• Integration with additional project management tools
• Advanced natural language processing capabilities
• Custom workflow automation
• Team analytics and insights

Technical Architecture

The solution is built using:

• Dynamiq’s library for AI agent implementation
• Linear API for project management integration
• Streamlit for the user interface
• ReAct pattern for intelligent decision-making

Use solution

# Install required dependencies
pip install dynamiq streamlit

# Run the application
streamlit run app.py
    

Conclusion

This AI-powered project management assistant represents a significant step forward in automating and streamlining project management workflows. By combining Linear's robust project management capabilities with advanced AI functionality, we've created a tool that not only saves time but also improves the quality of project documentation and team collaboration.

The implementation demonstrates how modern AI technologies can be practically applied to solve real-world project management challenges, setting a new standard for intelligent project management tools.
