The Living Dashboard: Real-Time Visibility Into AI-Driven Development
· 7 min read
When AI agents are autonomously modifying your codebase, you need more than git logs and test output. You need real-time visibility into what's happening: which requirements are being worked on, what tests are running, where coverage gaps exist, and whether the system is healthy.
Traditional development dashboards weren't designed for the speed and complexity of AI-assisted development. You need a living dashboard that updates in real-time and provides immediate insight into system state.
The Visibility Problem
AI-driven development moves fast:
- Multiple agents working simultaneously
- Rapid commits to different branches
- Continuous testing across requirements
- Dynamic requirements that evolve during implementation
- Complex dependencies between features
Without visibility, you're flying blind:
- Which requirements are actually being worked on?
- Are tests passing or silently failing?
- Where are coverage gaps?
- What's the overall project health?
- Are any agents stuck or blocked?
