Linear’s Orbit Report 2026 — AI generates almost half of issues in the project management systems (compared to less than 0.1% two years ago), teams with AI agents submit 65 pull requests per week while other teams make 8–10.

Linear’s Orbit Report 2026. AI generates almost half of issues in the project management systems (compared to less than 0.1% two years ago), teams with AI agents submit 65 pull requests per week while other teams make 8–10. Over the last two years, the number of pull requests has increased by 111%.
This report reveals a new kind of job that did not exist a year ago — working with AI. It’s not replacing existing jobs, but instead, it’s adding something new on top of them. The productivity difference between teams with and without agents will continue to grow.
