A KDDI Agile Development Center practitioner uses Claude Code with browser MCP tools to collect article links across four calendars and prepare Slack messages. The author reports a routine taking five minutes fell to 30 seconds and provides execution logs and setup commands.

Rakuten engineers use Claude Code for tests, components, bug fixes and documentation. Rakuten reports average feature delivery falling from 24 working days to five. A separate seven-hour vLLM implementation reached 99.9% numerical agreement with its reference, rather than general code correctness.

ASUENE compared Gemini and GPT-4o models on 200 sample utility receipts, extracting transaction months, consumption and costs. Its tests found Gemini more than four seconds faster on average.

Credit Saison uses a voice-based custom GPT for new sales staff to rehearse prospect conversations and receive feedback. Reduced dependence on experienced colleagues is claimed; no roleplay-specific saving is quantified.

Port engineers delegate small refactorings, bug fixes and TODO items to Copilot while developing other features. Their retrospective reports better self-review and fewer minor review comments, without quantified savings.

A READYFOR engineering survey documents Claude Code use for coding, Git operations and pull requests. Among 12 respondents, 66% reported saving one to two hours daily, while 42% reported more fatigue. These are self-reported savings rather than controlled productivity measurements.

A Schoo infrastructure engineer used Cursor Agent to investigate a manually maintained AWS account and import about 350 required resources into Terraform. The account contained more than 1,500 listed resources. The post provides technical steps but no measured time saving.

An Asahi Shimbun workshop demonstrated Cursor workflows for GitHub issue creation, project fields, deadline reminders and meeting documentation. Shell examples are provided. This was an internal hands-on exercise, with no measured productivity outcome.

Project Themis uses Gemini prompts to identify inconsistencies, structure arguments and prepare document drafts. The practitioner publishes prompts and a repository, with human review in the workflow. The article provides no validated legal-accuracy or savings study.
