From the experiment

Do coding agents recommend Inngest?

Inngest was chosen in 7% of 681 judged agent frameworks sessions, ranking third. Measured with Claude Code, Codex and Cursor.

Published September 3, 2026 Read as Markdown

Inngest was chosen in 7% of 681 judged agent frameworks sessions, ranking third. It was also raised as a candidate in 59 further sessions without being chosen.

This page reports what happened when Claude Code, Codex and Cursor had to solve a problem in agent frameworks inside a realistic codebase. Not what a chat assistant says about Inngest. What an agent actually installed.

By who was asking

Inngest performs similarly across the four kinds of buyer, from 0% to 14%. That is unusual: the category leader changed with the persona in 14 of the 18 categories we measured.

What this means

Inngest was raised in 59 sessions and chosen in 50. That ratio is balanced enough that the ceiling is presence rather than integration: the product converts reasonably when it is on the table, and it is not on the table often enough.

Where these numbers come from

The 681 sessions in agent frameworks are part of a published set of 5,292, run with real coding agents inside realistic codebases and judged blind. The full method is on one page: how we measured this.

Every agent frameworks run can be replayed on the board.

If you work on Inngest: the judge recorded a reason for every session where it was raised and passed over. Those reasons are in the transcripts.

Common questions

Do coding agents recommend Inngest?

Yes. Inngest was chosen in 50 of the 681 judged sessions in agent frameworks, a 7% install share, ranking third in its category.

Does Claude Code recommend Inngest?

In 18 of the 237 sessions in agent frameworks run with Claude Code, which is 8%.

Do different coding agents treat Inngest differently?

Not much. The three agents chose it at similar rates, between 5% and 9% of their runs.

How was this measured?

Real coding agents at pinned versions were run in sandboxes inside 51 realistic codebases and asked to solve real tasks. A simulated project owner approved or questioned each recommendation before any code was written, and a judge from a model family that builds none of the agents read every session blind.

How often is Inngest considered but not chosen?

It was raised as a candidate in 59 sessions without being chosen, and chosen in 50. That is a 46% conversion from considered to chosen.

Where this comes from

Armature ran 5,292 judged sessions with Claude Code, Codex and Cursor inside 51 realistic codebases, and published every run. The numbers on this page come from that work.
