LinearB provides AI-driven features that help engineering teams improve code quality, automate repetitive work, and track adoption of AI tools. These capabilities are controlled through two areas in Settings:

  • AI Services — A master toggle that enables or disables LinearB AI across your entire organization.
  • AI Tools & Automations — Detailed configuration for LinearB AI automations, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and related integrations.

This article explains how to manage AI Services, what happens if they are disabled, and where to configure specific AI tools.

AI Services

The AI Services toggle is located under Settings > General > AI Services.

  • When enabled, all AI features (AI Insights, AI Automations, Copilot, Cursor, Dependabot) are available.
  • When disabled, LinearB stops running all AI processing and automations.

Only admins can toggle AI Services for an organization.

Effects of Disabling AI Services

If AI Services are disabled:

  • AI Automations (AI Review, AI Description) stop running.
  • AI Insights no longer displays AI-related adoption or usage metrics.
  • GitHub Copilot and Cursor metrics dashboards stop reporting activity.
  • Dependabot automations will not run.
  • Other dashboards (DORA, Delivery, Quality, Throughput) continue to function, but without AI-driven enhancements.

In some cases, the AI Services setting may appear greyed out and cannot be enabled by Admins. To enable AI Services in this scenario, please contact LinearB Support for assistance.

AI Tools & Automations

Navigate to Settings > AI Tools to configure individual AI features. These are grouped into three areas:

  • LinearB AI & Automations — AI Review, AI Description, labeling, and Dependabot automations.
  • GitHub Copilot — Tracks adoption and usage metrics for Copilot.
  • Cursor — Tracks adoption and usage metrics for Cursor.

Operation Mode

Before enabling automations, choose an operation mode:

  • Managed Mode — Automations run on the LinearB runner as a managed service. Required for AI Insights.
  • Repository Mode — Automations are defined in repository configuration files and run on your Git provider infrastructure. Not tracked in AI Insights.
