AI Code to Production

Track AI-generated code across the delivery pipeline: accepted in IDE → committed → merged → deployed. View acceptance rate, merge rate, and deployment rate by tool, team, repository, and time period.

AI Token Usage

Measure token consumption across Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, and Windsurf. Analyze usage by organization, team, and developer, including cost per tool and cost per PR.

AI Checkpoints

Get commit-level attribution for AI-assisted work. Each checkpoint captures the AI agent used, tokens consumed, and the percentage of AI-generated versus human-edited code.

AI ROI

Connect AI usage to delivery outcomes. Measure cost per PR, cost per shipped line, and tokens consumed versus code shipped.

Waydev Agent

Ask questions about your engineering data and get actionable answers. The agent supports trend analysis, forecasting, and recommendations for improving AI adoption and delivery performance.

Waydev MCP

Connect Waydev engineering intelligence to MCP-compatible clients. Supported clients include Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, VS Code, Windsurf, and other MCP clients.
