"Engineers are bored watching their IDE write code. The next step is headless: writing tasks for the AI, and reviewing its work. That’s how CheepCode works.
CheepCode connects to your project management app (we support Linear today) and picks up unassigned tasks. It will move the task to ""In Progress"" and start working on it, then submit a PR in GitHub when it's done.
Using CheepCode, I ""code"" on my phone, creating Linear tasks and checking the PRs when they roll in minutes later (or hours later when I'm available).
CheepCode works in a fully-integrated Linux development environment. It can browse the web, use Docker, install packages, and recursively problem-solve to work around issues. It is incredibly resilient and submits quality code changes, often exactly what I would have written myself (with ~15 years of professional software development experience). While I'm still working on quantifying the output quality, I find that in practice it doesn't fall prey to the common problem of ""doing too much"" that people report with other tools.
CheepCode also uses a journal to help you understand its process. It's entirely headless, so you can't interact with the agent while it's working, but you can still see how its thoughts and intermediate progress for debugging/optimization."
CheepCode is an AI coding agent that pulls tasks from Linear, writes code in a headless Linux environment, and opens GitHub PRs for $1 each.

Key features
6 features of CheepCode
- Backlog integration — Connects to Linear to automatically claim unassigned tasks and move them to In Progress.
- Autonomous coding — Writes code in a fully-integrated Linux environment, using Docker and web browsing as needed.
- GitHub PR submission — Creates and pushes a pull request to GitHub once the task is completed.
- Process journal — Records its thoughts and intermediate steps for debugging and optimization.
- Resilient execution — Handles errors by recursively problem-solving and installing required packages.
- Headless operation — Runs without interactive UI; you monitor progress via the journal and PRs.
Use cases
- Turn a Linear ticket into a fully functional PR without opening an IDE
- Generate code fixes on a phone by creating a task in Linear
- Automate repetitive coding tasks that require Docker or external dependencies
- Produce high-quality code changes comparable to an experienced developer

- CheepCode vs Fine: Focuses on building AI agents broadly, not specifically on automated PR generation from backlogs
- CheepCode vs SuperAGI Cloud: Provides cloud infrastructure to run autonomous agents, whereas CheepCode is a specific coding agent service
- CheepCode vs Calljmp: Offers managed backend for AI agents as code, but not a turnkey coding-to-PR workflow
- CheepCode vs PostalDataPI: Provides data APIs, unrelated to code generation or PR automation
