What happened
LinearB announced Agentic Studio, which unifies data from Git repositories and project tracking tools into a context layer that humans and AI agents can query in plain language. Early adopter Kraken used its MCP integration to cut review times by more than half in four months.
Why it matters
LinearB says traditional dashboards only show metrics, not the context needed to resolve pull requests — and CEO Ori Keren said the company rebuilt LinearB around a knowledge graph it holds of the software delivery lifecycle.
WHO IT HITSEnterprise software engineering teams using AI coding assistants are the direct audience, as the tool aims to help them clear review backlogs by giving both engineers and their coding agents shared context.

LinearB's move comes as enterprises adopt generative AI coding tools like Claude Code and Codex, which can write code faster but leave teams with more code to review and ship. In its Software Engineering Benchmarks report, LinearB analyzed more than 2.7 million pull requests across 250 organizations and found that AI-assisted pull requests are nearly 2.6 times larger and wait more than five times longer to be reviewed, contributing to backlogs. Agentic Studio is designed to address that bottleneck by providing context rather than just metrics, to both human engineers and autonomous agents. The company is also developing new agent skills, starting with an effort skill in early access, and plans to expand its library with skills for automated code review, merge governance and token cost optimization in the coming months.
