I’m Alex Circei, co-founder and CEO of Waydev (YC W21). I started my first company in Romania at 21 and have been building startups for more than 15 years. In 2017 I launched Waydev, creating a new category in Software Engineering Intelligence. Today Waydev works with Fortune 500 companies like American Express, Caterpillar, Dropbox, and Citibank. We grew to $1M ARR and now I’m leading the next evolution, Waydev.ai — a PLG-driven platform with AI dashboards.

Software is eating the world, but we are not data-driven in understanding software development. Most of the software development reports are related to manual input from engineers, Waydev generates useful reports for managers, without the input of the engineers. Waydev provides value with real-time metrics for your daily stand-ups, 1-to-1 meetings, history of your engineers' work, and benchmarking the stats with the industry average.

Problem

Engineering leaders struggle to understand performance, delivery, and the real impact of AI across their teams. Traditional engineering intelligence tools require endless dashboard setup, data interpretation, and manual correlation between GitHub, Jira, and other sources.

These legacy platforms were never built for the AI era - making it hard to measure AI adoption, productivity, and team impact in a way that feels natural or conversational. Even newer tools are bolting on “AI features” rather than rethinking the experience from the ground up.

Solution

We built Waydev AI, the first AI-native conversational platform for Engineering Intelligence, designed so leaders can stop analyzing dashboards and start asking questions.

Waydev AI transforms how engineering teams understand performance and delivery. Just connect your tools - GitHub, Jira, Cursor, and more—and start asking in plain English:

  • “What’s our AI adoption rate this quarter?”
  • “Which teams improved their cycle time the most?”
  • “How has AI impacted our delivery and bug rates?”

Key Features

💬 Conversational Interface: Chat directly with your data instead of digging through dashboards.
🤖 AI-Native Insights: Instantly generate reports, visual charts, and performance breakdowns from natural-language questions.
🔌 Connect Your Stack: Integrate GitHub, Jira, Cursor, and more in seconds.
📈 Dynamic Reports: Save and share real-time insights that update automatically as your teams ship.
🔍 AI Adoption Metrics: Track how generative AI tools like Copilot or Cursor are influencing developer productivity.
