Building with AI: How Webflow engineers move faster, think deeper, and ship smarter

Webflow is leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance engineering productivity by integrating AI tools into every engineer’s workflow, aiming to balance rapid execution with high-quality output. Each engineer is equipped with advanced AI tools, including a ChatGPT Enterprise license and access to Cursor, a context-aware IDE, which together help reduce complexity and automate repetitive tasks. Additionally, Webflow employs Augment Code for LLM-assisted engineering within various IDEs, and has developed an optional AI-powered pull request bot and linting tool to streamline code reviews and ensure adherence to best practices. This comprehensive AI toolkit, supported by remote agents and context integration from external sources, has resulted in significant improvements in engineering metrics: an 80% increase in Cursor usage, a 21% reduction in cycle time, and an 11% increase in deployment rates, all while maintaining a change failure rate below 2%. Webflow's approach demonstrates how AI can fundamentally transform engineering processes by providing more leverage and enabling new ways of working.
