Copilot cloud agent for Linear is now generally available
GitHub has made the Copilot cloud agent for Linear generally available, as announced in a July 23, 2026 changelog entry. The agent enables developers to interact with Linear, a popular project management platform, using natural language commands through GitHub Copilot. This integration was previously in preview and is now fully released. The Copilot cloud agent for Linear is available to all GitHub Copilot subscribers who use Linear. The announcement did not specify pricing changes or additional features beyond the general availability status. This launch expands Copilot's capabilities beyond code generation into project management workflows, allowing developers to create, update, and query Linear issues without leaving their development environment. The agent operates as a cloud-based service, meaning it does not require local setup or configuration beyond standard Copilot subscription access.
Developers can now manage Linear issues directly from Copilot, streamlining project management within their coding workflow.
