Seats that bring their own credits
A seat beyond your plan's included headcount now raises the company's AI allowance instead of dividing it. Here is the formula, and the two parts of this that are not switched on yet.
What you actually pay for
LinearPilot bills the company rather than the person, but that is not the same as “no seats.” Here is the real shape: one subscription, a number of included seats, a flat price for extras, and AI metered separately.
What LinearPilot is, and what it isn't
No founding myth, no logo wall, no funding announcement. What we can offer instead is a set of design convictions and a list of the things LinearPilot deliberately does not do.
Inside the code sandbox
When the assistant runs code over your data, it runs in a throwaway virtual machine with no network interface at all. Here is what goes in, what can come out, and what the approval screen actually shows you.
The model behind the assistant
LinearPilot Spark, Core and Max are three tiers your users pick between — not three tiers a plan locks you into. What a tier actually is, how credits meter the choice, and what happens when a provider has a bad day.
How private AI actually works in LinearPilot
“Private AI” gets said a lot and explained rarely. Here is the actual mechanism in LinearPilot: named providers under no-training terms, sensitive fields masked and restored, consent you control, and the isolation and encryption underneath.
One data layer, 29 apps
LinearPilot ships 29 built-in apps, but the count isn't the point. The point is that they write to the same records, so a contact in the CRM is the same record in Mail, Signing, and everywhere else.
AI that asks permission
LinearPilot's AI can change your data, but never on its own. Modifying actions wait for an explicit yes, and the most powerful one, running code over your data, is sandboxed and gated on top of that.
Your mailbox, with help
Connect Gmail, Outlook or plain IMAP and LinearPilot becomes a real mail client, with AI that drafts replies, flags likely spam, translates what arrives, and sends you a digest every six hours with its sources attached.
Voice: what stays on your device
You can talk to LinearPilot and it talks back. The spoken replies are generated in your browser and the audio never leaves it. The listening half is a different story, and this post is mostly about telling the two apart.
