Linear·31wSelf-driving SaaS: When software runs itself
AI is transforming project management software from passive tools requiring constant human input into autonomous systems that proactively move work forward. Instead of chatbots that simply respond to prompts, self-driving software can automatically extract customer requests, assign issues, update documentation, and even dispatch simple changes to coding agents. Linear is building toward this vision with progressive levels of autonomy—from basic suggestions to full automation—allowing teams to focus on strategic decisions while the system handles routine tasks independently.
