Linear is where fast-moving product and engineering teams track what they're building and why. Issues capture requirements, decisions, and the back-and-forth that shapes a feature. Projects carry the story of a cycle. That context is valuable — but it tends to stay inside Linear, siloed from the documents, conversations, and research happening everywhere else.
Product context that travels with you
When you connect Linear to askFinz Knowledge, your issues, projects, and cycle content become part of a searchable layer in your workspace. Ask a question in Research and the answer can draw from an issue description, a project update, or a comment thread that captured an important trade-off — with the issue cited so anyone can open it directly.
What this looks like in practice
You're writing a product brief and want to make sure your proposal is consistent with a direction your team already agreed on. That agreement is somewhere in a Linear project — an issue comment, a project update, a description edited after a long discussion. Instead of going back to Linear to find it, you ask askFinz. It surfaces the relevant context, names the issue, and you carry it into your brief.
Or a new engineer joins the team and wants to understand why a particular feature works the way it does. The reasoning is in the issues that preceded the build. With Linear connected, Chat can walk them through the context without anyone having to reconstruct it from memory.
The content that benefits most
- Issue descriptions and comments where product decisions are discussed and refined
- Project briefs and updates that capture the intent and scope of a cycle
- Cancelled or deprioritised issues that explain why a direction was not taken — context that's easy to lose
- Roadmap items and milestone descriptions that contain the strategic framing behind what's being built
Coming to askFinz Knowledge
Linear integration is on the roadmap for askFinz Knowledge. For product and engineering teams, it means the reasoning captured in your issue tracker stops being something you have to go looking for — it becomes part of every conversation, every research thread, and every decision you make in askFinz.
