We built our own background agent at @agency. It’s so much easier to keep track of the agents’ progress and when reviews are needed versus guidance. A dev at Agency probably has tens of agents working at a time and needs help and feedback from other devs, making this attention problem almost impossible without Linear.

Ramp’s team knows what they’re doing. They built Inspect, an internal coding agent that now authors over 60% of their merged PRs. To make it scale, they brought it into @linear, where the work and context already live.

Ramp’s internal coding agent now writes 60%+ of their merged PRs. With Linear as the underlying layer for structured product context, it can take on issues and work them to completion. Here’s how they got there: linear.app/customers/ramp

@jasonlk @salesforce How is SFDC any better than a normal database? What does it provide to your agents that’s worth $22K? Curious. Security?

Is the business model for traditional software companies in permanent decline due to AI Agents not needing seats? 2 examples: Re: @salesforce, we’ve reduced our seats from 10+ to 2 human seats and 1 API seat. And yet, we now pay $22,000 a year, 83% up from $12,000. Why? Our 20+ AI Agents use Salesforce 100x more than we did a year ago. We now have an AI VP Marketing, AI VP Customer Success, and run 4 third party AI GTM agents (including Agentforce). They just plain use Salesforce more. So we pay more. 83% more than a year ago — already. That’s a bull case. Now let’s take @NotionHQ. We love Notion and it has seen huge acceleration from AI usage inside its app. AI makes Notion better. But … but … our AI Agents don’t care. Our AI VP Marketing and AI VP Customer Success have no need to log into Notion. And our real-time dashboards from our AI VP Marketing (who leads our weekly standup now, which we used to do from Notion) is better and hyper customized to us. And better integrates with all our other agents. So we realized last week that we hadn’t actually used Notion in months. Even with its strong AI product enhancements. Our AI agents just don’t need Notion. But they do need Salesforce more than ever. At least, our AI agents do. Is this a System of Record difference? Or is it just something that will vary app-by-app? Not sure. What I do know is it will cut many ways.

It’s ServiceNow’s and Salesforce’s opportunity to truly deploy and own the agentic fabric for their customer bases. That’s what their customers want. It’s what we want, with 20+ agents running on top of Salesforce. The challenge is start-ups and others are moving more quickly and building simpler, faster, and in some cases, “better” AI Agents. Check-the-box agents or agents that are simply way to hard to configure and deploy are struggling to get traction. Salesforce has already bought 2 of the agentic leaders in its own ecosystem (Qualified, Momentum) which is very smart. Both should win. But everything in agents is moving very, very quickly. They barely even worked a few months ago, really.

We just built the #1 tool every AI team wants. Introducing @merge_api Gateway: LLM routing, fallback, cost guardrails, and security, all in one place. Everyone gets $10 free LLM usage on us to try it out. RT+ comment “Gateway” → we’ll double your credits.

It's absolute insanity @Agency. A week ago, we get rid of Cursor. We all switch to Claude Code. Now everyone is switching to Codex. Today Cursor launches Automations.
