Agents start writing your updates and searching the web

Agent features that do real work, not just demos, landed in two major tools this week. Linear's agent can now draft project and initiative updates, and Figma's design agent can pull live web content into designs.

Agents that write and search

Linear's agent-assisted project updates are the week's standout feature. Instead of manually collecting what changed since the last update — issues closed, documents edited, Slack discussions — you click "Write with Agent" and Linear reviews the recent activity, checks the linked Slack channel, and produces a draft for you to polish. It's a pragmatic use of the agent: not generating something from nothing, but saving you from the grunt work of gathering context. The same release adds private sub-teams with restricted or fully private visibility, and desktop tabs now get independent history stacks and persistent pinned tabs — quality-of-life improvements that compound.

Figma's design agent can now search the web for live content, pulling in best practices and real-world data instead of leaving placeholders in mockups. It's a direct complement to Linear's agent: one writes your status updates, the other fills your designs with real context. Both are about reducing the friction between "I should do this" and "this is done."

Platform controls and API depth

Figma focused on enterprise governance this week alongside its agent news. Org admins can now manage web publishing permissions for Make and Sites files at the workspace level, a control that matters as more teams use Figma for production web content. The new AI credit usage API for Enterprise customers lets teams track consumption programmatically, addressing the opacity that often comes with AI-included plans. Separately, the Figma MCP server expanded to support Slides and uploaded fonts, giving AI coding tools more surface area to work with.

Smaller updates across the board

Linear's release also includes dozens of fixes across commands, comments, diffs, and Slack sync. Slack shipped security improvements in its desktop client and a bug fix for Activity view filters, while Notion and Figma each pushed routine bug-fix updates. None of these are headline news, but they keep the tools stable for the agent-heavy week.
