- Understand your requests through natural language in Slack

- Execute the necessary actions across GitHub, Linear, and your codebase
- Provide clear, helpful responses back in Slack
This seamless integration allows you to manage your entire development workflow through simple conversations, without having to switch between different platforms and interfaces.
