Cursor Deploys AI Across Internal Operations
At Fortune’s Brainstorm AI, Cursor CEO Michael Truell said the AI coding-assistant start-up automated roughly 80% of customer support and deployed an internal AI Q&A and engineering tooling. The $29.3 billion company, with more than 300 employees and $1 billion annualized revenue, faces enterprise AI adoption challenges such as data silos and technical sprawl. Independent studies show mixed effects: METR found 19% slower tasks, University of Chicago found 39% more pull requests merged.
