Anthropic Productivity Patterns

Interactive visualization of how AI is transforming engineering work.
Charts animate from "Pre-AI" to "AI-Augmented" states.

The Skill Perimeter

Engineers move from narrow specialists to broad generalists. Watch the web expand into Design and Frontend domains.

Cross-Domain Output

Volume of work completed outside an engineer's core expertise. AI acts as a bridge for unfamiliar technical territory.

The Output Multiplier

Self-reported productivity gains. The shift from manual coding to "Managing Claudes" drives volume up 50%.

The Autonomy Crossing

As Claude chains more tool calls autonomously (purple), the need for human turns (blue) drops, accelerating flow.

Feedback Loop Shrinkage

Time required to go from "Idea" to "Verifiable Code". Weeks turn into hours as prototyping accelerates.

Complexity vs. Effort

Harder tasks (moving right) now take less time (moving down). The barrier to complex features is lowered.

The "New Work" Reveal

27% of AI-assisted work is net-new. This chart shows "Nice-to-haves" and "Tooling" emerging from zero.

Fixing "Papercuts"

Small annoyances (refactoring, shortcuts) were previously ignored. AI allows engineers to clean them up en masse.

The Long Tail of Work

High Priority (P0) work remains constant, but the "Long Tail" (P4/P5) of backlog items finally gets addressed.
