When building AI products, we’re starting to move beyond the idea of AI as just an assistant.

Agents can research, write code, run tests, analyze results, and handle parts of a workflow autonomously.

That makes me wonder what an **agent-native Linear alternative** should actually look like.

Instead of adding AI features to a traditional project-management tool, what if the workflow itself was designed around **humans and AI agents working together**?

That’s what I find interesting about **Sharkly.ai**. The focus is on making AI agents active participants in project work rather than keeping them outside the team’s workflow.

For me, the key things would be shared context, clear task ownership, human oversight, and the ability for agents to hand work off without losing progress.
