What is the Joshu Linear connection?

Joshu connects to Linear through OAuth and reads the teams and projects you authorize. It summarizes sprints, names blockers, and turns meeting decisions into issues. You work with an assistant who has a desk, a computer, and persistent memory, not a status meeting that exists because the board is hard to read.

Is my Linear data secure?

Yes. Every Joshu runs in its own isolated, sandboxed cloud computer. Issue data Joshu reads stays in that private sandbox. Joshu acts with the permissions of the connected Linear user, and your data is never used to train public AI models.

Will Joshu change issue status without asking?

Joshu does not move issues or change status without rules or approval you configure. It can draft tickets and nudges for your review, and you choose which teams Joshu may write to.

What can Joshu access in Linear?

Only the teams and projects visible to the connected Linear user. Private teams stay private unless that user can see them. Keep personal or archived teams disconnected if you prefer a narrower scope.

What is the difference between Linear notifications and Joshu?

Linear sends notifications whenever tickets change. Joshu is a teammate with memory across mail, calendar, Slack, GitHub, and past conversations. It turns board status into follow-up where you already work and tracks blockers across days.

Do I need a paid plan?

Joshu is $95 a month after a 14-day free trial. That includes your sandboxed cloud computer, a dedicated US phone number, an @joshu.me email address, persistent memory across your tools, and all tool connectors, including Linear. There are no surprise usage tiers or seat markups.

What Joshu does

Joshu can read issues, note what is stuck, and turn meeting decisions into Linear tickets, or the reverse, into mail and tasks you already track. Sprint summaries can show up in briefs without you opening the board.

What you do

Connect Linear with OAuth and select the teams Joshu should see. Tell Joshu which projects matter for daily updates. Keep personal or archived teams disconnected.

Why it sticks

If project delivery lives in Linear, Joshu should see the board the same way engineering and product teams do.
