> Resolve AI was chosen in 20% of 179 judged ai sre sessions, ranking second. It was also raised as a candidate in 77 further sessions without being chosen.

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

## The numbers

| | |
| --- | --- |
| Category | Ai sre |
| Sessions in the category | 179 |
| Sessions where Resolve AI was chosen | 35 |
| Install share | 20% |
| Rank in category | 2 of 26 |
| Codebases it won in | 4 |
| Raised as a candidate, not chosen | 77 |
| Chosen when considered | 31% |
| Site | resolve.ai |

## By agent

The three agents treat Resolve AI very differently. Codex chose it in 35% of its sessions in this category and Cursor in 8%, a spread of 27 points.

| Agent | Sessions | Chose Resolve AI | Share |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Claude Code | 71 | 7 | 10% |
| Codex | 72 | 25 | 35% |
| Cursor | 36 | 3 | 8% |

A single blended install share would report the midpoint and hide both ends. If most of your users run Cursor, your real position here is 8%, not 20%.

## By who was asking

Resolve AI does much better with one kind of buyer than another. It won 63% of sessions asked as senior engineer and 0% of those asked as vibe coder.

| Who is asking | Sessions | Chose Resolve AI | Share |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Vibe coder | 30 | 0 | 0% |
| Junior developer | 60 | 5 | 8% |
| Senior engineer | 30 | 19 | 63% |
| Enterprise team | 59 | 11 | 19% |

## What Resolve AI was up against

The full ranking in ai sre, from the same sessions:

| # | Product | Runs won | Share |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Sentry Seer | 47 | 26% |
| 2 | Resolve AI **(this page)** | 35 | 20% |
| 3 | Datadog Bits AI Dev Agent + Datadog Bits Investigation | 26 | 15% |
| 4 | Cursor Automations | 15 | 8% |
| 5 | Claude Code GitHub Action | 11 | 6% |
| 6 | Cursor Cloud Agents | 9 | 5% |
| 7 | incident.io AI SRE | 4 | 2% |
| 8 | Cursor Automations + Cursor Cloud Agents | 3 | 2% |

## What this means

A solid second or third position in a category means the agent is genuinely choosing rather than reaching automatically. That is a winnable position, because the inputs it uses can be changed.

The fastest gains are usually in the sessions that were nearly won: read them, find the step where the agent moved on, and fix that step.

## Where these numbers come from

The 179 sessions in ai sre are part of a published set of 7,852, run with real coding agents inside realistic codebases and judged blind. The full method is on one page: [how we measured this](/library/how-we-measured-this).

Every ai sre run can be replayed on [the board](/leaderboards/ai-sre).

If you work on Resolve AI: 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 Resolve AI?

Yes. Resolve AI was chosen in 35 of the 179 judged sessions in ai sre, a 20% install share, ranking second in its category.

### Does Claude Code recommend Resolve AI?

In 7 of the 71 sessions in ai sre run with Claude Code, which is 10%.

### Do different coding agents treat Resolve AI differently?

Yes, and by a wide margin. Codex chose it in 35% of its runs and Cursor in 8%.

### How was this measured?

Real coding agents at pinned versions were run in sandboxes inside 90 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 Resolve AI considered but not chosen?

It was raised as a candidate in 77 sessions without being chosen, and chosen in 35. That is a 31% conversion from considered to chosen.
