How to Triage Your Linear Backlog with Littlebird

Triage the backlog by asking, not by scrolling.

The backlog's a hundred issues deep. Triage means opening each one, checking its label and priority, deciding what's actually urgent -- and by the time you've sorted the top of the list, the standup's over and the rest is untouched.

Littlebird's already paying attention to your work. Connect Linear and it reads your labels and issues, so you can slice the backlog by what matters instead of opening tickets one by one.

How do I triage my Linear backlog with AI?

Connect Linear and Littlebird can read the issue labels your team uses and list the issues that carry them, so "show me all open issues tagged critical" comes back as a list -- triage by asking, not by opening every ticket.

Slice the backlog by your real labels

Littlebird can read the issue labels in your workspace, so you ask against the categories your team actually uses -- "bugs tagged P1", "everything labeled needs-design" -- grounded in your real label set, not guesses.

See status and detail without opening each ticket

Littlebird can read your workflow statuses and the full details of any issue -- description, assignee, priority -- so a triage pass is a conversation, not a hundred clicks.

Re-file as you go

Triage is also acting on it. Littlebird can create or update an issue from Chat -- re-label it, change its priority, reassign it -- so decisions land as you make them. The full set of what Littlebird does across Linear is on the Linear integration page.

Ask what needs triage. Sort it in Chat. Move on.

Common questions

Do I need to connect Linear for this to work?

Littlebird starts working on its own by paying attention to your active window, so you get value the moment you install it. But reading your labels and issues needs Linear connected -- it takes a few seconds in Settings > Integrations.

Does Littlebird train on my data?

No. Littlebird never trains models on your data and never sells it. Your data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and you can delete it at any time.

Connect Linear

Connect Linear in Settings > Integrations, then ask what needs triage. See everything Littlebird does with Linear on the Linear integration page.
