Linear report: AI adoption more than doubled across every function in six months

Linear published "How teams build" (Edition 01, Tim Qi, 2026), based on six years of workflow data from tens of thousands of teams:

Adoption everywhere: Between Jan and Jun 2026, share of users active on AI features more than doubled in every function. Product climbed fastest from 12% to 34%; even go-to-market went from 5% to 18%.
Unique vantage: Model companies and coding tools only see token/code volume; Linear sees the full workflow from issue to PR, though data reflects only its own customer base.
The report also examines how AI reshapes where teams spend time and whether it changes shipping volume — a fixed point for measuring future editions.
