Faros AI Hubble Release: Measure, Unblock, and Accelerate AI Engineering Impact

The next leap in AI-driven engineering productivity

Engineering teams are racing to adopt AI tools, but translating individual productivity boosts into organization-wide outcomes remains elusive. That’s why this quarter’s Faros AI release is all about turning scattered gains into scalable, measurable impact. We’ve focused on surfacing the invisible, guiding action, and unlocking performance at enterprise scale.

This quarterly product release is named for American astronomer Edwin Hubble, who confirmed one of the greatest scientific discoveries of the 20th century, that the universe is expanding. Fun fact: The Hubble Space Telescope has been exploring the cosmos longer than many software engineers have been alive. With the average engineer now in their late 30s to early 40s, Hubble’s career in space rivals even the most seasoned among us.

Over the past 35 years, Hubble’s ongoing in-space servicing has transformed it from a remarkable telescope into a generative powerhouse of scientific discovery. With the Hubble release, we’ve set out to do the same for engineering organizations - equipping them to evolve into AI-native innovation engines.

Here are the highlights of the Hubble release: 

• The Generative AI Net Impact Score, GAINS™. A data-driven score and framework for improving AI productivity gains quarter over quarter. 
• One-click Cursor analytics. A simple token is all you need to understand how this popular IDE impacts developer productivity. 
• Introducing documentation insights. Developers do more than code; it’s time to measure and appreciate those contributions. 
• Snap. Spot. Act. Weekly summaries with a built-in consultant. Your updates now include metrics, the big takeaways, and recommendations on what to do next. 
• A 100x boost to event processing for the XXL enterprise. Discover our new cloud-agnostic high-performance architecture for the AI age.

Realize AI Productivity Wins with GAINS™, the Generative AI Impact Net Score

In a landmark empirical study published this month, Faros AI found that while AI coding assistants increase an individual engineer's code contributions and task completion, the needle hasn’t moved on org-level engineering outcomes. 

Developers using AI complete 98% more code changes and 21% more tasks. But fragmented adoption, downstream bottlenecks, and insufficient change management are cancelling out these gains.

It's the AI Productivity Paradox. And the problem isn’t the tools. It’s the system around them.

That’s why we’re announcing GAINS™, the Generative AI Impact Net Score. 

We harnessed the data learnings from 10K developers across 1,255 teams and extensive operational fieldwork with CTOs and AI leaders to develop a framework that can help unblock AI.

GAINS is based on ten critical dimensions of engineering operations that must evolve in order to deliver the AI payout: Adoption, velocity, efficiency, quality, safety, satisfaction, onboarding, platform maturity, organizational structure, and strategic alignment.

With Faros AI, you get your initial GAINS benchmark rapidly, establishing a clear, data-driven benchmark for engineering performance, and optionally re-measure every quarter. Between quarters, your team implements suggested improvements, guided by insights from the diagnostic. Every increase in your GAINS score reflects real, tangible improvements in your engineering outcomes, so progress isn't just aspirational, it's measurable.

One-click analytics for Cursor 

Evaluating the adoption, usage, and impact of Cursor just got easier. A simple token is all you need to get the data flowing into Faros AI and analyzed alongside data from all your other active coding assistants. Use these insights to benchmark and measure Cursor’s impact on productivity and developer sentiment. 

Bonus: If you use Augment, you can easily drag-and-drop your usage stats into Faros AI for AI impact analysis.

Introducing documentation insights: A well-rounded view of developer productivity

When we talk about developer productivity, we often narrow the focus to writing and fixing code, but that’s just part of the story. Senior developers, architects, and tech leads make massive contributions through documenting architecture, drafting PRDs, building incident rulebooks, and running post-mortems. 

These context assets not only benefit peers and teams, but today they’re also vital to producing better AI agent outputs. And yet, they’re too often overlooked.

That’s why we’re excited to introduce documentation insights. Faros AI now integrates with Google Drive, Office 365, Notion, and Confluence to surface analytics from the documentation your teams create. These insights bring long-hidden contributions into sharp focus.

With documentation insights, you can finally answer questions like:

• How does sparse documentation affect MTTR?
• What is the task cycle time reduction when specs are richly detailed?
• Which engineers, tech leads, and architects consistently update docs?
• Who’s contributing the most valuable comments and edits?
• Which roles are overloaded with documentation responsibilities?

These are the unsung drivers of productivity, now visible, measurable, and optimizable.

Weekly snapshots, highlights, and recommendations for results-driven enterprises 

Tracking metrics is only the first step. The real value lies in knowing what to do next. But all too often, teams are left staring at dashboards asking: Now what?

That’s why we’re introducing Snap. Spot. Act. Once a week, Faros AI delivers a crisp summary of your key engineering metrics, accompanied by key takeaways, trend analysis, and detailed, tailored recommendations to help you take action.

Snap. Spot. Act. No setup required. Just insights, straight to your inbox, Slack, or Teams.

Snap: Get a weekly snapshot of your team’s performance

Spot: Read summarized highlights of what changed this week and emerging trends and hotspots

Act: Get practical recommendations of what to do next

Also: Built-in best practice workflows

In addition to weekly summaries, Faros AI users now benefit from out-of-the-box workflow automations that will instantly help improve engineering efficiency and team health: 

• Overdue code reviews: For PRs waiting too long for approval
• Long cycle times: When tasks or PRs are taking longer than normal
• Predicted delivery risks: If dates are forecast to slip based on say/do ratios and unplanned work 
• Too much context-switching: When developers are spread too thin and can’t focus

Software development event processing for the XXL enterprise

We're excited to unveil our next-generation event processing engine, built to meet the scale of XXL enterprises and accelerate innovation in the era of AI-powered development.

This powerful, cloud-agnostic architecture delivers a 100x performance boost, elevating how we process the constant stream of events that drive modern software workflows. From GitHub pull requests and Jira ticket updates to custom events tracking every build and deployment in your CI/CD pipeline, our new engine ensures unmatched speed, flexibility, and reliability.
