What is Weave?

Weave is an engineering analytics platform that helps teams measure AI adoption and optimize engineering productivity. We connect your development tools (GitHub, Cursor, Claude, and other AI tools) to provide team benchmarks, track AI ROI, and help you understand how AI is impacting your engineering velocity.

Who is Weave built for?

Weave is designed for CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and engineering leaders who need to:

  • Measure AI tool adoption across their organization

  • Calculate ROI on AI development tool investments

  • Benchmark their team's productivity against industry standards

  • Make data-driven decisions about engineering tool spend

  • Optimize team velocity and productivity

What problem does Weave solve?

As companies invest thousands or millions in AI development tools like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Claude, engineering leaders need answers to critical questions: Are developers actually using these tools? Is AI improving productivity? Which teams are getting the most value? Where should we invest more? Weave provides the data and insights to answer these questions with confidence.

How is Weave different from traditional engineering analytics platforms?

Weave is built specifically for the AI-native engineering era. While traditional platforms focus on DORA metrics and sprint velocity, Weave adds a critical layer: AI adoption analytics, AI-generated code quality measurement, and AI tool ROI tracking. We integrate directly with AI coding tools to provide insights no other platform can offer.

Features & Metrics

What metrics does Weave track?

Weave provides comprehensive visibility into:

  • AI Adoption: Usage rates across your team, by individual, team, and organization

  • AI ROI: Time saved, productivity gains, and cost justification

  • Engineering Velocity: Throughput, cycle time, and delivery metrics

  • Code Quality: AI-generated code quality and review outcomes

  • Team Benchmarks: Compare your performance against similar organizations

  • Tool Effectiveness: Which AI tools deliver the most value for your team

How does Weave calculate AI ROI?

Weave measures the time saved, code quality improvements, and velocity gains from AI tools, then compares this against your investment in AI subscriptions and training. We provide concrete data showing which tools deliver positive ROI and which may need optimization or reconsideration.

What are team benchmarks and why do they matter?

Our benchmarks show how your engineering team compares to similar organizations across AI adoption rates, productivity metrics, and engineering velocity. This helps you understand if you're ahead or behind the curve, identify improvement opportunities, and set realistic targets based on what high-performing teams achieve.

Can Weave track multiple AI tools simultaneously?

Yes. Weave tracks usage across your entire AI tool stack simultaneously, giving you a complete view of your AI investments and helping you understand which tools provide the most value for different use cases and team members.

What is the Deep Research Agent?

The Deep Research Agent uses advanced AI to perform in-depth analysis of your engineering data. It can answer complex questions about your team's productivity, identify patterns, and provide actionable recommendations tailored to your organization.

Does Weave provide AI code review insights?

Yes. Weave analyzes how AI is being used in code reviews, the quality of AI-generated code, and how AI impacts your review process, cycle times, and overall code quality.

Integrations & Implementation

What tools does Weave integrate with?

Weave currently integrates with:

  • GitHub: Repository activity, commits, PRs, code reviews

  • Cursor: AI coding assistant usage and effectiveness
