The opportunity

Meet the 100x engineer.

A 10x engineer is about talent. A 100x engineer is about systems: one person directing a team of agents, with the tools and safeguards to trust what they produce. The best engineers are publishing their numbers, and those numbers keep climbing.

8,471commits in 72 days from one engineer

Peter Steinberger, who built OpenClaw, runs 5 to 10 agents at once across 48 repositories, about 118 commits a day. He spent much of his time building the tools that make those agents better.

~2,000pull requests a month from one engineer

Lauren Tan says volume was never the goal: verify first, then run agents in parallel. August ended at 2,462 pull requests in production.

1,500pull requests in 5 months from 3 engineers

OpenAI's team driving Codex wrote no code by hand: about 3.5 merged pull requests per engineer per day, in roughly a tenth of the usual time.

We didn't just predict the shift. We lived it.

Proxon runs on Proxon. Same team as a year ago, building in a completely different way: agents write the code, engineers direct the work, and the output compounds week after week. The biggest leap so far is in the build phase. Planning, review and operations are next.

The catch

You can't lead a shift you can't see.

You're paying for AI coding tools, and leadership wants to know what they're getting. GitHub and GitLab can't tell you how much of your work AI is doing, or whether you're on the path the leading teams are on. We've done the work to know which questions to ask, and how to answer them.

Today
  • GitHub tells you how many pull requests merged, not how many AI helped write.
  • Getting an answer means custom API queries, a chatbot, and knowing which questions to ask.
  • AI usage and spend live in one place, engineering work in another.
With Productivity
  • AI-assisted and other work side by side: output, cycle time and review, team by team.
  • No single score and no verdict. You decide what good looks like for your team.
  • Sits next to Adoption and Cost Intelligence, so the whole AI picture is in one place.
The solution

See where AI is lifting your team, and where to push next.

Connect GitHub or GitLab and Productivity matches your pull request history to the AI usage Proxon already tracks. It's built around three questions every engineering leader is being asked.

Impact

How much more are we getting done with AI?

How much of your merged work AI helped write, and how output and cycle time are moving, with AI and without.

Bottlenecks

Is AI creating new bottlenecks?

Whether AI work is skipping human review, how big its pull requests run, and where work is waiting.

Next steps

What do we do next?

Flags on what's worth a look, like AI work skipping review or a team that hasn't started with AI, so you know where to act first.

Forward deployed expertise

We'll help your team make the climb.

We've made this shift ourselves. A Proxon expert comes on site, learns how your engineers use AI today, and trains them on a modern, AI-first way of building software. Then they hand it off, and Productivity keeps measuring your progress.

  1. Baseline

    We interview your team, connect GitHub or GitLab, and show where your team stands today.

  2. Train

    We teach the fundamentals, then workflows built for your team, with the review habits that keep AI work safe.

  3. Hand off

    Your internal lead owns the playbook. Productivity keeps tracking progress, so leadership sees the results.

Get started

Your baseline, in minutes.

Productivity connects to GitHub or GitLab directly. All you need is an admin to approve the connection.

  1. Connect GitHub or GitLab

    An admin approves the Proxon app for your organization.

  2. Pick your repositories

    Choose the repositories you want to track. You can add more any time.

  3. Add Jira or Linear (optional)

    Adds metrics like time from ticket to first commit.

  4. See six months of history

    Data shows up in seconds to minutes, so you start with a baseline instead of waiting weeks.
