Does GAIA use Loom transcripts to populate Linear issue fields?

Yes. GAIA reads the Loom transcript to extract a summary, steps to reproduce (for bugs), and any mentioned issue numbers, using this content to populate the Linear issue description and comments.

Does attaching a Loom to Linear require the viewer to have a Loom account?

Not necessarily. Loom videos can be set to public or shared-link access. GAIA attaches videos using their shared link so anyone with the Linear issue can view the recording without a Loom login.

Can GAIA attach Loom videos to sub-issues or just top-level issues?

GAIA can attach Loom links to both top-level Linear issues and sub-issues. This is particularly useful for QA feedback on specific acceptance criteria tracked as sub-issues.

Automate Linear + Loom with GAIA

Attach Loom video walkthroughs to Linear issues for richer async context

Text descriptions in Linear issues often fall short for complex bugs or nuanced feature feedback. A ten-second Loom recording of a UI bug conveys more than three paragraphs of written description — but attaching that recording to the right Linear issue requires remembering the issue number, opening Linear, and manually pasting the Loom link.

GAIA makes Loom and Linear work together seamlessly. When a Loom recording is created with a specific tag or title convention, GAIA identifies the relevant Linear issue and attaches the video automatically. Bug recordings made in Loom generate new Linear issues with the video embedded. Sprint update Looms are posted as comments on all issues completed that week.

For remote and async-first dev teams, this integration enables a richer asynchronous communication layer on top of Linear's structured workflow — combining the precision of issue tracking with the clarity of video communication.

5 things you can automate

Everything GAIA can do when Linear and Loom are connected.

Bug recording to Linear issue

When a QA tester or user records a Loom showing a bug, GAIA creates a Linear issue with the Loom video embedded as the primary description, making it immediately actionable for the assigned engineer.

Design feedback videos on issues

Designers record Loom walkthroughs of design feedback and GAIA attaches them to the corresponding Linear implementation issues so engineers see the exact changes requested without a meeting.

Sprint demo recordings on completed issues

After a sprint demo, GAIA attaches the Loom recording to each Linear issue demonstrated, creating a permanent video record of what was built and how it works.

Async standup updates

Engineers record daily Loom standup updates mentioning their Linear issues. GAIA parses the video transcript and posts relevant updates as comments on each mentioned issue.

Onboarding walkthroughs linked to issues

GAIA attaches relevant Loom onboarding and architecture walkthrough videos to Linear issues in specific areas, giving new engineers video context alongside written issue descriptions.

How to set it up

Connect Linear and Loom to GAIA in three steps.

1
Connect Linear and Loom to GAIA
Authenticate your Linear workspace and Loom workspace in GAIA's settings. GAIA uses Loom's API to access video metadata and transcripts.
2
Define video-to-issue linking rules
Tell GAIA how to identify which Loom videos relate to which Linear issues — by title convention (e.g., including the issue ID), by folder, or by transcript content analysis.
3
GAIA links videos to issues automatically
When a new Loom is created matching your rules, GAIA attaches it to the appropriate Linear issue as a comment or description link and notifies the relevant team member.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. If a Loom recording title includes a trigger phrase (e.g., 'Bug:' or 'Issue:'), GAIA creates a new Linear issue using the video title as the issue name and embeds the Loom link as the description.
