What's new:

Feature description

AI Insights helps executives, IT leaders, and HR teams measure how AI tools are being adopted across the workforce and whether that adoption is translating into measurable productivity gains. By analyzing usage patterns, classifying users into AI adoption maturity stages, and correlating adoption with productivity outcomes, AI Insights gives organizations the data they need to make informed decisions about AI investments, enablement priorities, and resource allocation.

 

Key capabilities

  • Impact dashboard: Correlates AI adoption maturity stages with workforce productivity metrics — overall utilization and core activity efficiency — at both the organizational and team level. Includes trend analysis to track how stage distribution and productivity shift over time.
  • Adoption dashboard: Provides user-level details on AI tool usage, including top tools by time allocation, per-user maturity-stage classification, interaction frequency, and usage trends. Supports drill-down analysis via cross-filtering across all visualizations.
  • Category configuration: Allows Admins and Configurators to define which application and website categories count as AI usage at the account level. Accommodates organizations that have customized the default AI Tools & Assistants category or created their own AI-related categories.
  • AI Adoption Maturity Framework: Classifies users into one of four stages — No Usage, Research Assistance, Task Execution, and Workflow Integration — based on usage frequency, the percentage of productive time spent in AI tools, and average AI interaction frequency (sessions per day). Enables leaders to move beyond binary usage tracking to understand how deeply AI is embedded in daily work.
  • BI & Custom Analysis (ActivConnect API (Add-on) required): For customers with ActivConnect, the AI Insights BI template unlocks the full AI impact story. It lets them integrate their own output and performance data to correlate AI adoption with business outcomes. The in-app dashboard tells you how people are using AI. The BI template tells you what difference it's making. For more information, see Release Notes: ActivTrak for BI - AI Insights.

 

AI Adoption Maturity

Every user is classified into a maturity stage based on three signals: usage frequency, percentage of productive time in AI tools, and average AI interaction frequency (sessions per day).

Stage Maturity level Behavior pattern
Stage 0 No Usage User has not engaged with any AI tools
Stage 1 Research Assistance AI is being tried, explored, or used for quick inputs or research
Stage 2 Task Execution AI is actively used to draft, analyze, or refine work outputs
Stage 3 Workflow Integration AI is embedded in workflows and decision-making, producing near-final outputs
