Products, side by side

Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked

DX

Application

DX AIApplication

DX AI is a conversational interface for exploring an organization's engineering data held in DX, described by the vendor as 'the copilot for engineering leaders.' It answers natural-language questions with generated charts, summarizes qualitative snapshot data into themes and sentiment, and diagnoses the drivers behind metric changes. Its data can also be streamed into external LLM clients via the DX MCP server.

OpenAI

Application

ChatGPTApplication

Assistant for chat, web search, file analysis and image generation, used in the browser and in desktop and mobile apps; developers can build custom in-chat apps for it via the Apps SDK, built on the Model Context Protocol.

ChatGPT AtlasApplication

OpenAI's agentic web browser. Deprecated on 9 August 2026, with its browser-based agentic capabilities moved into ChatGPT and Codex.

ChatGPT GovApplication

A version of ChatGPT that US government agencies deploy in their own Microsoft Azure commercial or Azure Government cloud, so the agency manages its own security, privacy and compliance.

ChatGPT for ExcelApplication

ChatGPT in the Excel ribbon: builds and edits spreadsheets, formulas and formatting from plain-language requests, answers questions about what is in the workbook, and asks permission before changing it. OpenAI's own page bundles this with a separate ChatGPT for Google Sheets add-in; this record covers the Excel add-in only.

ChatGPT for PowerPointApplication

ChatGPT in the PowerPoint ribbon: creates new slides, rewrites and restructures an existing deck, and turns notes, documents or spreadsheets into presentation-ready content while keeping the output editable in PowerPoint.

ChatGPT for WordApplication

ChatGPT in a Microsoft Word sidebar: drafts, revises and reorganizes the open document from notes or pasted source text, pulling in context from connected apps like Outlook, SharePoint, Google Workspace and Dropbox.

SoraApplication

OpenAI's text-to-video product. The web and app experiences were discontinued on 26 April 2026; the API will be discontinued on 24 September 2026.

No counterpart

DX sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for OpenAI yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.

API service

DX MCP ServerAPI service

The DX MCP server exposes a customer's DX data to MCP-compatible AI clients such as Claude, Cursor and Devin Desktop. It is deliberately read-only, offering tools to list and retrieve software catalog entities, scorecards and initiatives, and teams, plus execution of SQL queries against the DX Data Cloud PostgreSQL database. It is available as a DX-hosted remote endpoint at ai.getdx.com/mcp or run locally from DX's open-source dx-mcp-server repository.

Developer tool

AI Code InsightsDeveloper tool

AI Code Insights measures what AI coding agents produce inside an engineering organization, tracking AI-generated code by commit, PR, team, agent and repo from IDE to production. It attributes authorship by monitoring supported coding agents' edits and links them to commits, pull requests and deployments, reporting adoption, delivery velocity, code-quality signals and session-level agent performance. It includes the Agent Experience report, which scores requirements clarity, steering and task scope from the agent's perspective.

DX CLIDeveloper tool

Command-line interface to a DX instance, built so coding agents can drive it: it ships an agent skill telling an agent when and how to call the CLI, and covers the same catalog, scorecard and self-service operations a human uses the dashboard for.

FabricDeveloper tool

Fabric is DX's context layer for AI agents, marketed as 'the context engine for AI-native engineering.' It turns an organization's software catalog into structured, live context that agents can query, and adds scorecards and self-service automation so agents can create services, provision infrastructure and resolve failing standards checks. Context is exposed to any MCP-compatible agent via the DX MCP server.

OpenAI sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for DX yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
