alt Hacker NewsI have a more basic question; I am trying to understand its purpose.
How does this compare with connecting your agent to your ticket tracker? Linear can dispatch the agents: https://linear.app/agents https://linear.app/docs/coding-sessions
If it is about local work, how does it compare with simply having your agent monitor a directory for ticket files?
Thanks for the question!
Think of Pizza Bot as the "harness"/interface your agents actually run in. You'd still hook up Linear via their MCP server (https://linear.app/docs/mcp) for "what needs doing." Pizza Bot is what handles the run itself (scheduling the interaction, routing tool-call approvals to you, and holding conversation/agent state).
The part that's actually different from "agent in a terminal" or "agent posting to Slack" is that it's built for having a bunch of these running at once. Instead of N terminal tabs or N ticket comment threads to figure out which agent is stuck waiting on you, they land in one inbox — jump between threads, see which ones are paused on an approval or a question, answer, and move on.
Let me know if that helps to clarify things!
