How to Measure AI Coding Assistant Productivity: A Framework for Engineering Teams

Here's a question I get asked constantly: "How do you know if AI coding tools are actually making your team more productive?"

It's a fair question. Engineering leaders are investing real budget in Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot seats. Developers are restructuring their workflows around these tools. But when someone asks for data — actual numbers on impact — most teams have nothing to show.

I've been working on this problem for over a year, first as an engineering leader trying to justify AI tooling investments at Georgia-Pacific, and then by building PromptConduit to close the analytics gap. Here's the framework I've developed for measuring what actually matters.

TL;DR

Most teams can't prove AI coding ROI because they measure the wrong things. This framework focuses on concrete metrics — commit-assistance rate, PR throughput, cycle-time deltas — instead of vanity numbers. Works across Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot, and pairs with PromptConduit for automated collection.

PromptConduit: Building Analytics for AI Coding Assistants

Every day, I spend hours having conversations with AI coding assistants. Claude Code helps me debug issues, Cursor generates components, and Gemini CLI answers quick questions. But here's the thing: I had no idea what I was actually asking them. What patterns emerged from my prompts? Which tools got invoked most frequently? Was I getting better at prompting over time?

These questions led me to build PromptConduit.

TL;DR

Claude Code and Cursor ship without an analytics layer. PromptConduit fills that gap — it captures, parses, and visualizes prompts across AI coding tools. After tracking 18,700+ prompts across both tools, I have hard data on what engineers actually ask AI tools to do.

My family and I were on our annual beach vacation, during covid-19, and I had a few ideas on how to help out the condo/hotel industry.

TL;DR

Notes from exploring computer vision for the hospitality industry during COVID-19 — elevator usage analytics, amenity occupancy monitoring, and what signals matter when density matters. Practical CV applied to operational questions.
