## Definition

A **agent platform** is a software product rebuilt so that AI agents operate as a native part of it, working alongside human users rather than being added on top as a chatbot feature — the approach Linear took when it transformed itself into an agent-native platform.

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.
