How it works

Connect Linear and OpenAI in five steps.

No code, no glue, no half-day setup. Each step is one click.

1
Connect
Authorize Linear and OpenAI
Open Tiny Command, authorize Linear and OpenAI once each. Both connections are available to every workflow on your account.
2
Trigger
Pick a Linear trigger
Drop the Linear → Comment Created trigger onto the canvas. Tiny Command auto-registers the webhook.
POST /v1/webhooks/linear.trigger-comment-created
3
Transform
Add a filter or AI step
Optionally add a Filter node ("subject contains URGENT") or an AI step ("classify intent") between trigger and action.
4
Action
Add the OpenAI action
Drop the OpenAI → Analyze Image action below it. Map fields from the Linear payload into the OpenAI inputs.
openai.analyze-image
5
Publish
Publish and forget
Hit Publish. Tiny Command runs it in production from second one. Watch the run-log fill up.

FAQ

Questions about Linear + OpenAI.

How does GPT triage Linear issues?

Linear Issue Created → OpenAI returns team, project, priority, estimate, labels → Linear Update Issue with the metadata + adds "ai-triaged" label.

Can GPT write technical specs from a Linear issue?

Yes. Prompt: "Expand into spec with problem, approach, alternatives, rollout plan". Save as Linear document attached to the issue. Ready for engineer review.

How do I detect duplicate Linear issues with GPT?

On Issue Created, search project for similar issues. Pass candidates to GPT with "rate similarity 0-1". Matched dupes get linked + commented with reasoning.

Can GPT generate weekly Linear status updates?

Yes. Scheduled Friday: list closed + in-progress issues for the team → OpenAI Chat with "write a weekly engineering update, group by project" → email/Slack.

How do I prevent GPT from changing fields a human already set?

Skip triage if issue has "triaged-by-ai" or "triaged-by-human" label. Or only run on issues from external sources (no human has touched them yet).

Which model for Linear automation?

gpt-4o-mini for triage and labels (fast, cheap). gpt-4o for spec-writing and status updates. Track per-issue cost from response usage for visibility.
