    Added stable links and workspace-aware navigation for AI sessions.

  • 🔎 Investigated a production dispatch spike.

    Traced the timeout path and created a tracking task with the findings.

  • 🤖 Kept the review → fix → verify loop moving.

A review loop worth sharing.

Adrian uses pr-watch to keep reviews moving. Turn that repeatable workflow into a team habit.

About this sample

Example standup · Illustrative daily trends. Kudos stay in this preview. *Model-estimated activity, including overlapping automation; not engineer working hours.

04

Fix agentic loop bottlenecks.

From CI to review to merge. See where the agentic loop loses time.

The largest delay comes after approval: the work is ready, but the merge is still waiting.

Give the agent a clear merge rule: merge when approval and all required checks are green.
About this sample

Sample from Zest’s pipeline report · Stage medians overlap and do not add up. Test / verify activity is a weekly session-flow estimate, not pipeline wall time.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW

Glad you asked.

What does Zest help my team do?+

Zest brings together AI coding activity, the tools and skills your team uses, and GitHub context. It helps you share useful practices and see what to improve next.

What are “build hours”?+

These are model-estimated activity hours, including overlapping automation. They are not employee working hours, timesheets, or a measure of a person’s value.

Can we start for free?+

Yes. Starter is $0 per workspace per month with 3 seats included. You can choose a paid plan as your team’s needs grow.

Which tools can we connect?+

Start with Zest’s integrations for tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and VS Code. See the current setup guides in our docs.
