Linear is streamlined issue tracking. Lova takes a different approach: tell AI what you're working on, and it creates and manages the project for you — for any kind of project, not just software.
Linear is the developer-favorite issue tracker known for its speed and opinionated design. It excels at engineering workflows but is narrowly focused — non-technical teams struggle with its developer-centric model.
Conversation-first. Instead of configuring boards and workflows, you describe your project in plain language. Lova creates the board, columns, and tasks from the conversation.
AI narration. No one writes status reports. Lova watches the board and tells leads what changed, what is blocked, and what needs attention.
Agent-ready. External agents can claim tasks, report status, and post to chat through the API. Your CI pipeline, AI coding assistant, or deployment scripts become project participants.
