The platform connects data on AI adoption, productivity, application usage and spending with the work being performed across different teams. It helps business leaders identify where AI is delivering measurable results, which tools are worth investing in and which workflows could be automated.

Instead of tracking only how many employees use AI tools, Larridin measures the output and costs associated with that usage. This gives companies a clearer view of the business value generated by their AI investments.

For example, the company identified a case where 92% of engineers at one customer were active AI users, but a single engineer accounted for around 65% of the team's AI spending in one week.
