What LinearB is
LinearB is an engineering productivity platform for leaders who want to measure software development, set code governance policies, and automate Git workflows. Its insights track how AI coding tools affect delivery velocity, code quality, and team health. AI Code Reviews check changes for security risks, bugs, performance issues, and specification mismatches before merge, while policy-based workflows can route pull requests, manage approvals, and enforce tests. Executive reports connect engineering costs for AI, people, projects, and processes to business results. Integrations include GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure Repos, Jira, Azure Boards, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Cursor, Claude, and GitHub Copilot. LinearB also offers APIs for exporting data to BI tools and managing teams and groups. It is available on web, by API, and as a self-hosted option. Monthly billing is not offered. A 45-day trial of Essentials is currently limited to GitHub Cloud users. LinearB says it uses Git metadata and deletes shallow-cloned repository data after processing, without scanning, analyzing, or saving source code.
