Changelog

We’re opening five slots for teams who want to help shape Charlie’s roadmap while super-charging their own velocity.

Is this you?

• TypeScript codebase (mono-repo or small set of services)
• GitHub for PRs & issues
• Slack for team chat
• Linear for project management
• Willing to collaborate under proper guardrails for 6 weeks

Nice-to-haves: small (≤10 devs), monorepo architecture.

How it works (6-week partnership)

1. Use Charlie for almost every change – let him draft PRs & fixes so we can measure real impact.
2. Become code reviewers – focus your effort on reviewing Charlie’s PRs, not writing boilerplate.
3. Watch velocity increase – we track merged PRs and lead-time together.
4. Weekly check-ins – fast feedback loops with our core team.

Why join?

• Free usage throughout the program
• Direct C-suite access
• Prioritised feature requests – your pain points drive our roadmap

Charlie ships via Vercel

Charlie now rides Vercel previews and production deploys out-of-the-box. When he pushes commits or opens a PR, Vercel automatically builds and deploys—no extra seats, tokens, or manual steps. Faster iterations, zero extra config.

What’s new

• Automatic preview URLs – Every branch Charlie opens spins up a Vercel preview so you can click, test, and iterate instantly.
• Hands-free production deploys – Merge the PR and Vercel ships to prod; Charlie no longer needs to be on your Vercel team or counted as a seat.
• One seat, one flow – Charlie acts through GitHub only, so your Vercel billing and permissions stay exactly as they are.
• Tighter feedback loop – Review the code, open the preview, ship the fix—all in one pass.

If the repository already has the Vercel GitHub App installed, no further configuration is needed.

Charlie now lives in your Slack channels. Turn conversations into Linear tickets, surface git & Sentry context on demand, and ship pull-requests—all without leaving the thread. Less back-and-forth, more code shipping.

What’s new

• Create Linear tickets from any thread – Mention @Charlie and he captures the full conversation, attachments, and links the new ticket to GitHub.
• Dig up context instantly – Ask “@Charlie, did we change anything before X?” or drop a Sentry link and he pulls the relevant commits, stack traces, and root-cause clues into the chat.
• Generate fix plans in-channel – “@Charlie, how should we fix this?” returns a step-by-step implementation plan with code changes, tests, and rollout notes.
• Open PRs straight from Slack – Approve the plan or say “@Charlie, open a PR to fix this” and he spins up a branch, commits the patch, and posts the GitHub PR back to the thread.
• Summarise noisy discussions – “@Charlie, summary please” condenses multi-hour threads into a crisp recap with action items and owners.

Follow the setup instruction to get Charlie working in your Slack today.

Charlie now plugs straight into Sentry. Quickly enrich Linear issues with Sentry links, ask Charlie for a ready-made implementation plan, and then a pull request that ships the patch. Less context-switching, more code shipping.

What's new

• Enrich Bug Reports - ask Charlie to enrich Linear bug reports with Sentry issue links. He'll pull in stack traces, touched files, recent commits, and related PRs, and highlight the most important parts.
• Generate Implementation Plans - Charlie now proposes a step-by-step implementation plan for any Sentry-linked Linear issue, covering code changes, tests, and rollout notes.
• Open PRs to fix bugs - approve the plan and Charlie spins up a branch, commits the patch, and opens a GitHub PR that links back to both the Linear and Sentry issues.

Follow the setup instructions to get Charlie working on your backlog today.

Charlie is now a fully integrated Linear Agent, bringing autonomous TypeScript development directly into your team's workflow.

What's New

• Instant Reactions: Charlie responds to mentions in Linear with sub-second latency, ensuring seamless collaboration.

• Smarter Undo: Utilizing native git reset and git revert, Charlie provides cleaner rollbacks, keeping your repository tidy.

• Reliable Merge Conflict Resolution: Charlie now handles merge conflicts automatically, reducing manual intervention.

• Native Dependency Management: Charlie installs dependencies using your preferred package manager (bun, npm, yarn, or pnpm), avoiding manual edits to package.json.

• Pre-installed TypeScript Compiler: Every devbox comes with tsc pre-installed, allowing Charlie to perform type-checks out of the box.

Seamless integration

Assign Charlie to issues, add him to projects, or mention him in comments—just like any other team member. With a dedicated user profile, you can track Charlie's activity and contributions effortlessly.
