Talking AI · Past the Productivity Ceiling: Rebuilding the Enterprise from First Principles · 22 Jul 2026 podcast

And so as we think about our internal use usage, we do

Try to go back to business KPIs.

We try to use those as the measures of what we're driving.

Even as we think about software development, right?

We're not thinking just about things like lines of code.

We're thinking about innovation velocity.

We're thinking about release cadences.

We're really thinking about how does delivery to the end customer change, as opposed to one or two of these metrics that may seem interesting on the surface, but actually don't translate necessarily to business value.

Yeah, look, it's I think it's both evolved over time, and I'll talk a bit about that at GitLab.

And then it also is really

Role and function specific.

Yeah.

And so if we think back, even just six months ago, which in the AI era seems like an eon ago, we were looking more to say like raw usage stats, right?

What are people using?

We have five, six main enterprise wide AI platforms.

What's utilization look like?

And all the things you do on traditional platforms, looking at weekly active versus daily active users and all those things.

And we still do that.

I think it's an important measure.

And we certainly do look at tokens and costs more from a cost control perspective than we do from a maximized productivity perspective.
