Get Hamster up to speed during setup, not after

Connect GitHub, Linear, and more during onboarding. Synced tasks now show assignees who aren't in your workspace yet.

Connect Tools at Setup

Onboarding now includes a step to connect your tools before you create your first brief. Connect early, and Hamster uses your issues, pull requests, and documents from the start.

Already set up? You'll find the same connections under your team settings. See all available connections.

Linear Assignee Invites

Tasks synced from Linear now show the assignee's name even if they haven't joined your workspace yet. Admins get a notification and can invite them in one click. Once they accept, Hamster automatically assigns all their pending tasks.
