Hello everyone 👋
Welcome to the ChatPRD newsletter. For those of you who are new, welcome! And to those of you who have been here for a while, thanks for being here.
And I must say, there are quite a few of you that are new, as we just passed 50,000 ChatPRD users! In addition to that little milestone, I just checked and we've helped you all with over a half a million chats, 30k documents, and if i'm doing my fuzzy math right, saved all of you nearly 30 years of working time. So I'd say we're being helpful!
This week is a late newsletter (holiday week in the US!) with a more "behind the scenes" look at what we're working on at ChatPRD.
Let's dive in ⬇️
🤖 Updates: Linear Agent
The ChatPRD Linear agent has been a smashing success, with hundreds of teams using our Linear agent 100s of times an day to help them:
- Build out issue descriptions
- Create sub-issues and break down work
- Answering general product questions + getting feedback

Thanks to everyone that helped us through the early days, reporting bugs, and helping improve the bot. Coming soon are some highly requested features like:
- Starting linear tasks from ChatPRD docs
- More context from ChatPRD in linear
- Limited use for non-ChatPRD users
Reminder: our Linear Agent is available for ChatPRD Teams plans only. If you have a team account, you can add the agent to your linear workspace in your integration settings. Any of your teammates in ChatPRD can @ mention her in Linear and get assistance!
If you're interested in upgrading your personal account to a team account (even a team of 1!) send us a note in the support chat and we'll be happy to help you out.
🐛 Bug fixes and tweaks
We've fixed (or are fixing!) a few minor bugs being reported, including:
- FIXED: Intermittent stripe subscription connection issues
- FIXED: Broken link in linear docs
If you ever run into any trouble with ChatPRD, ping us in the support chat and let us know. We're here to help! Thanks to everyone who has been patient with these small issues and reported them via support Chat!
