Show HN: Pizza Bot – An inbox for AI agents that work in the background

    I 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: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;linear.app&#x2F;agents" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;linear.app&#x2F;agents <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;linear.app&#x2F;docs&#x2F;coding-sessions" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;linear.app&#x2F;docs&#x2F;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 &quot;harness&quot;&#x2F;interface your agents actually run in. You&#x27;d still hook up Linear via their MCP server (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;linear.app&#x2F;docs&#x2F;mcp" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;linear.app&#x2F;docs&#x2F;mcp) for &quot;what needs doing.&quot; Pizza Bot is what handles the run itself (scheduling the interaction, routing tool-call approvals to you, and holding conversation&#x2F;agent state).

      The part that&#x27;s actually different from &quot;agent in a terminal&quot; or &quot;agent posting to Slack&quot; is that it&#x27;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!
