How Grab put Cursor in the hands of Design, Ops, and Engineering

Grab reports that Cursor has become widely used across its Southeast Asian technology organization, with about 98% of tech employees using it monthly and 75% weekly, supporting work in engineering as well as design, operations, finance, analytics, product management, and executive teams. An analysis of more than 100,000 sanitized messages from roughly 4,000 users found bug fixing among the most common activities across professional groups, while designers used the tool heavily for styling and layout and, after Git training, merged hundreds of reviewed UI fixes. Among engineers, frequent users handled a greater share of complex tasks, with Cursor contributing to more than one-third of merge requests and approximately half of suggestions being accepted; Grab says this has shortened some tasks from days to hours and enabled work such as refactors and tests that might otherwise be deferred. Non-engineering teams used Cursor for SQL transformations, deployment workflows, documentation, prototypes, and internally built tools, supported by workshops that trained several hundred people in five countries. Grab characterizes the adoption as an enablement effort rather than a mandate, emphasizing that AI tools allowed employees to independently complete work that previously required engineering support.
