As AI keeps transforming the way software is built, most engineering teams still face a pressing challenge: how to set up meaningful measurement processes that distinguish value from risk.
With 90% of the developers today already using AI, adoption alone is meaningless without governance and measurement. Most teams also lack appropriate monitoring tools, leading to higher instability, increased failures, and more downstreamed rework.
Waydev, a Y Combinator-backed company and Gartner-recognized leader in Software Engineering Intelligence, is taking aim at the issue with the launch of their new Waydev AI, an AI-native conversational platform designed to transform how engineering leaders measure performance and understand AI’s impact on delivery.
“Engineering leaders don’t need more dashboards, they need clarity. Without measurement, AI creates more noise for developers than value,” said Alex Circei, Founder and CEO of Waydev.
“With Waydev AI, it feels like magic: you ask a question, and the system surfaces the exact insights you need. We show where AI is accelerating delivery, where it’s introducing risk, and how leaders can drive measurable impact,” he added.
The company also leverages other development platforms, including GitHub and Cursor, and users can ask natural-language questions, including “What’s our AI adoption rate this quarter?”; “How has AI impacted our cycle time and bug rates?”; and “Which teams are driving the most impact with AI?”.
The platform creates instant data-backed insights in the form of visual reports and tables, eliminating the pestering task of dashboard hunting.
Its AI integration includes adoption tracking, through which teams can integrate the technology easily into their daily workflows; intelligence insights that measure developer output and workflow efficiency to identify hotspots and investment opportunities; and editable structured query language (SQL) queries that allow users to review, customize and executive SQL behind any insight for full transparency.
Product demos can be scheduled at waydev.co/demo, and the tool is available at waydev.co/ai, starting at $4,999 USD annually for up to 50 contributors.
With this recent launch, the company hopes to give engineering leaders a new level AI edge, turning the flood of code intelligence into measurable, actionable strategy.
