Problem

With the proliferation of AI coding tools, actual code-writing time has decreased, yet non-coding tasks—requirements definition, code review, deployment coordination, stakeholder communication—still account for 60-70% of total development time. This time goes unrecorded in Jira or Git, causing dev team productivity to be overestimated or PMs to misallocate resources.

Solution

A dashboard that integrates activity logs from existing tools (calendar, Slack, Notion, meeting notes) to automatically classify and aggregate non-coding work hours. Weekly reports visualize the 'code vs. non-code' time ratio and identify bottleneck tasks.
