Welcome — What Is The GAiGE?

Short version: your organisation is trying to figure out which AI tools are actually worth paying for, and the only honest way to do that is to ask the people using them. You.

The case, on behalf of your company

The company you work for is paying for AI tools — possibly several of them. ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Midjourney, Notion AI, the list keeps growing. Each one costs money per seat per month, and adds up fast at any kind of scale.

The honest truth is that most companies have no idea which of those tools are actually paying off. They might suspect that Claude is loved and Microsoft Copilot is mostly ignored — but they don't know, and so they keep paying for both.

That's a waste of money. Which means it's a waste of your company's profit. Which, eventually, is a drag on raises, hiring, and the kind of work you'd rather be doing.

The traditional way to find out is to send everyone an annual survey nobody fills in. The GAiGE replaces that with a 10-second pulse that pops up while you're using the tool, asking the few questions that actually matter.

What's in it for you

Three things, genuinely:

1. Tools that actually work. When the data shows a tool is wasting people's time, your company can drop it. When a tool is loved, they can expand it. You stop being stuck with the bad ones and locked out of the good ones.
2. Training where you need it. One of the questions asks why people aren't using a tool. If "I don't know how to use it" comes up a lot, your company can run training. That's a direct response to your feedback.
3. Your own personal scoreboard. You can log in to your own dashboard any time and see the tools you rate highest, and roughly how much time you've saved. Useful at performance review time, actually — it's evidence of impact.

What you'll see

A small popup, bottom-right of the page, when you visit a tool your company has set up — for example, ChatGPT or Claude. It asks:

• Did you use it today?
• How much time did it save?
• What did it help with?
• How would you rate it?
• Anything to add?

If you didn't use it, it just asks why. The whole thing usually takes ten seconds.

You can be honest, including when it's negative

There's a deliberate option in the time-saved question called "I lost time because of it". We mean it. If a tool wasted your morning, say so — that's exactly the kind of signal your company needs to make better decisions. Nobody is going to come knocking on your desk because you rated a tool 2/5.

Privacy in one paragraph

Your boss sees the patterns, never your name. Admins and team leaders see "the team rated Claude 4.2/5", not "Sarah rated Claude 2/5". There's no per-person view in the app, and no name column in any export. You can see your own data on your personal dashboard — nobody else can. The only exception is the optional free-text comment: the text is visible (but without your name attached), so if you'd like to stay fully unnamed, keep the comment about the tool rather than your specific situation.
