Surprisingly, found a nice way to write with AI: 1) apple notes for the raw draft 2) Linear agent to shape, iterate with my writing guidance 3) asking to create a doc to read, edit, comment on, and share No more endless chat stream, full rewrites, or slow, blocky writing

@linear We really enjoy using Linear at @tangled_org—do you have any plans to ship a docs platform à la Notion? We haven't managed to find a good docs tool yet and Linear's writing experience is pretty unmatched.

@linear If Linear could also own #1 … that would be neat :) (I’m so done with gdocs)

@linear This is becoming too much. It’s good to have a CEO presence but i’m sensing some Garry vibes here.

@linear i’m going to sound like a boomer but doesn’t the act of rewriting actually get the writing better in the first place? I think of Blaise Pascal’s “sorry I didn’t have time to make it shorter” & how being concise requires time and effort. it sounds like you’re using agent for that?

I make a lot mistakes in the writing, so I'm using the AI like an editor that it takes a pass and fixes typos, grammar and sentence structures. Then I move in to editing it manually. In this piece, I kind of didn't have an ending for the piece, so I asked few versions from the AI. In the demo the point was that I found place can that feels good for typing and you can use both manual editing and AI together.

@linear not bad, I like your approach! It makes writing seem less of a task but still keeps it authentically you, which is I think key here. folks in our slack hate seeing an ai generated message from someone who clearly prompted it from a few bullet points.

@linear I'm guessing issue tracking is indeed dead

@linear Just use cabinet it’s all in one place

@linear Why even step 1... so confused as a product focused guy. Step 1 === Exit Linear.

@linear Wow gotta try this soon

@linear Linear Agent is great. I just wish that instead of directly changing my content, it would first suggest the edits so I can review them and decide whether to use them or not.

@linear linear is a great product. Linear + symphony + caffeinate is all you need.

@linear I like it, but can linear be more voice friendly and faster?

@linear We have a similar flow with

@linear Interesting but why linear and not say notion or Google Docs with Gemini

I know you can do it with those tools but have you tried the experience? In notion the writing/design never feels that good, gdocs is better but I don’t think it has guidance or skills support. I have used ChatGPT in the past but then it keeps writing the thing, you can’t never get an editable doc. Then sometimes it useful pull in some linear context to writing.

@linear I know that we’re far from getting “writing with AI” right yet but the flow you describe could be a step in the right direction.

@linear I want the raw draft in linear too, without attachment to any project or issue yet!

@linear It’s coming. I’ve been hacking this with my own team and project but team documents are coming

@linear Starting the draft in Apple Notes before handing it off is a nice touch. Keeps the messy thinking separate

@linear have been doing this since 2024 except step 2 is llm of choice

@linear whats your writing guidance i love your articles

@linear how will Linear Agent be priced once out of beta? I don’t see it being sustainable under the current price plan. hopefully a reasonable pricing structure

@linear the honest answer is that most people underestimate how much ai can augment their process, not replace it. this setup just shows you how to use tools to amplify your own strengths

@linear Looking forward to trying this flow out
