Introducing the new DX AI: the copilot for engineering leaders
No role in engineering is more overworked—and more overlooked—than the manager. While developers have quickly reaped the benefits of AI, engineering leaders have been relatively left behind. Until now.
Meet the new DX AI, the first purpose-designed copilot for engineering leaders. Part data analyst, part coach, and part PhD researcher, DX AI helps leaders gain deeper visibility and stronger command over their team performance.
DX AI capabilities include:
- Proactive alerting: DX AI continuously monitors your data and teams, surfacing anomalies, key trends, and potential risks—so you can act before issues escalate.
- On-demand analysis: DX AI instantly generates reports and insights to help understand developer productivity, from writing SQL queries to distilling unstructured qualitative data.
- Recommendations: DX AI is trained on proprietary data from the DX research team, delivering PhD-level guidance on how to remove bottlenecks and improve engineering effectiveness.
With DX AI, engineering leaders can move from reactive to proactive—spotting problems early, making better decisions, and unlocking their team’s full potential.
Built on the largest engineering dataset
DX is the most widely adopted platform for developer productivity data, trusted by tech companies like Dropbox, Pinterest, and Block, as well as enterprises including Vanguard, BNY, and Pfizer. Over the past several years, we’ve built a data library spanning over 4 million samples—across 100+ benchmarkable metrics, both quantitative and qualitative—all accessible via the DX data lake.
With AI, we see an immense opportunity to help engineering leaders unlock greater value from their data. In the near term, this means enabling AI-powered analysis, proactive detection and alerting, and intelligent, actionable recommendations. Further ahead, we’re building toward autonomous engineering management™—where AI doesn’t just surface insights, but takes action on them.
Proactive alerting
Dashboards are only as valuable as the time leaders spend viewing them and turning data into action. But let’s face it—some leaders don’t have the time, expertise, or consistency to make that a daily habit.
That’s where DX AI comes in, monitoring your data around the clock, detecting meaningful patterns, and alerting you with clear, actionable recommendations. For instance, DX AI can analyze a dozen signals to flag when a team’s velocity is dipping—giving you a timely heads-up to step in and offer support before momentum stalls.
On-demand analysis
Getting answers from engineering data often requires waiting on a data team—or knowing how to write complex SQL yourself. Even then, insights are often buried across disconnected tools and dashboards.
With DX AI, analysis is instant. Ask a question in plain English, and DX AI surfaces the answers—whether through advanced queries or recursive analysis of qualitative data. DX AI bridges the gap between raw data and real insight, empowering leaders to move faster, ask better questions, and make smarter decisions—without relying on a data analyst.
Expert recommendations
Developer productivity is a nuanced topic with decades of research behind it—but most organizations don’t have the resources to hire experts or build deep in-house expertise.
At DX, we’ve assembled a team of the world’s foremost experts on developer productivity, including Dr. Nicole Forsgren, Dr. Margaret-Anne Storey, and others. With DX AI, we’re making that expertise accessible at scale.
Trained on proprietary research and data from the DX team, DX AI delivers PhD-level guidance on any developer productivity topic—instantly. Whether you need advice on navigating organizational change or a primer on measurement frameworks, DX AI puts the knowledge of world-class experts at every leader’s fingertips.
