agent platform
How this term is used here
In this channel's material, agent platform describes what Linear became when it rebuilt itself for the AI era: rather than bolting a chatbot onto existing software, the company reworked its product so that AI agents operate as a native part of the platform, alongside human work [^c21e925e-a374-5583-a551-628601b7d1b9]. The interview with Karri Saarinen, cofounder and CEO of Linear, uses the idea to frame a broader choice: a pre-AI-era SaaS company that waited out the chatbot rush, then transformed into an agent-native platform — and what that choice reveals about measuring AI work, product strategy, and the enduring role of human judgment [^c21e925e-a374-5583-a551-628601b7d1b9].
- Agent platform = a product rebuilt so agents are native to it, not an add-on.- Linear is the featured example: it waited out the chatbot hype, then went agent-native.- The term ties into questions of measuring AI work and preserving human judgment.
