Pensero Announces AI Observability Platform to Enhance Engineering Performance Visibility

Tech Management AI Observability

Pensero transforms engineering data from tools like GitHub, Jira, and Slack into real-time insights. Its AI platform helps tech leaders boost productivity, identify top performers, and align engineering outcomes with business goals across high-growth organizations.

AI-Powered Platform Transformation

Pensero is an AI-powered observability platform for engineering performance. It is redefining how technology leaders understand, manage, and optimize their software teams.

Tech Management AI Observability

Software engineering teams are often a company’s biggest investment. Yet, unlike sales or operations, they are rarely evaluated with clear, measurable results. This lack of visibility leaves executives, managers, and employees guessing about productivity, ROI, and alignment. As a result, tension grows across departments and uncertainty reaches the boardroom.

Founders’ Vision and Mission

Founded by Dave Garcia and Bernardo Hernando, Pensero was created to solve this problem firsthand. The platform brings scientific rigor and AI-driven clarity to what has long been a black box in engineering management.

“Pensero is our way of turning the lights on, or every leader trying to see their team clearly again,” said Ivan Peralta, former CRO and tech executive.

Turning Work Data Into Insights

Pensero automatically gathers data from tools like GitHub, Jira, Slack, and Notion. It transforms the “work exhaust” of daily development into clear, actionable insights. Through advanced AI models, it reconstructs how work moves through teams. Therefore, leaders can see what’s being built and who drives impact, almost in real time.

“Pensero gave me a clear, data-driven way to identify my best engineers and turn their practices into inspiration for the rest of the team,” said Jean François Legourd, founder of Elfie.co.

Replacing Outdated Review Systems

Instead of relying on traditional performance reviews or static status meetings, Pensero offers continuous, data-backed feedback. Managers can coach with precision, while individual contributors can track their progress and growth. Executives, in turn, can align investment decisions with measurable outcomes.

Early adopters have seen strong results. They have recovered up to 30% of lost productivity, improved retention among top performers, and detected performance risks before they became systemic.

Benefits for Teams and Leaders
  1. Developers: Receive unbiased, private feedback that helps them grow. This makes Pensero a supportive ally, not a monitoring tool.
  2. CTOs & Engineering Leaders: Gain a live “work graph” of code, reviews, and tickets. It helps track focus, risk, and alignment in real time.
  3. CEOs: Finally understand how engineering output connects to business goals. They can benchmark against peers and make smarter strategic decisions without technical overload.
