AI usage rose 13% this week, led by the checkout-service payments push. The team pulled $1,015 of API-rate value from its plans, on pace for 2.4× what the seats cost this month. Worth watching: Claude Code is now 62% of True Cost, up from 48%.

The utilization problem

Every AI seat is a bet. Most orgs can't see the payoff.

You rolled out Max plans, Cursor seats, Copilot licenses. Then the economics shifted under you: Anthropic moved programmatic usage to full API rates, and Copilot metered agent mode. Meanwhile nobody can answer the basic questions. Who's actually using their seat? Which ones sit idle? Are your heaviest users throttled by limits mid-week?

The stakes compound because agent usage is enormous, and most of those tokens go to waste. The teams that thrive next won't have the biggest budgets. They'll know exactly what they're spending, and they'll cut it without slowing anyone down.

~70%

of agent tokens are waste: re-grep'ing, re-reading, exploring dead ends. (Stanford agent-trace research)

OptimizeAvailable now

Same plans. Smaller bill.

Optimize runs as a lightweight sidecar next to each developer's coding agent, steering model, effort, and context decisions in the background. Same engineers, same tools, fewer tokens. See how Optimize works.

Proof

Two ways to prove the savings

One-off · Controlled

Paired A/B test

A controlled experiment on your own repository, finished in an afternoon.

cdlx ab-test run --task "…"

Same task, same base commit, two isolated worktrees: one arm with Code Lexica, one without. The scorecard reports tokens, cost, duration, and verify-command pass rate per arm, so the savings never hide a quality drop.

We run the experiment on your repository, not on a benchmark.

How it works

Tracking in 5 minutes. Proof in an afternoon.

A few commands in a terminal. You won't paste an API key or route through a proxy, and nothing changes in anyone's workflow.

1

Install

Install the Code Lexica CLI tool via Homebrew.

brew install codelexica/tap/cdlx
2

Track

Connect to your Code Lexica account and select repos to track.

cdlx init

TrackFree forever

Not ready to optimize? See the bill first.

Track is the free half of Code Lexica: real usage and True Cost for your whole team, with nothing to pay and nothing indexed. It's also the baseline Optimize measures savings against, so starting free is starting the clock.

  • Usage and True Cost across Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor, in one team-level view

  • Weekly briefings that explain what changed and why

  • A leaderboard you can share org-wide, no accounts needed

  • Unlimited team members, free forever

Why teams keep it running

Most tools will tell you how many tokens you're consuming. What's been more valuable for us is understanding why usage changed from one week to the next. The insights make the product really useful.

CEO, DogMedia Solutions

As model pricing and usage continue to change, we wanted a better understanding of our exposure. Track gave us a clearer picture of how AI was being used across teams and where costs were trending.
