This post details how Grab scaled adoption of the Cursor AI coding assistant across engineering and non-technical teams, sharing key metrics and productivity findings.
- •98% of Tech Grabbers became monthly active users and ~75% use Cursor weekly, exceeding the industry benchmark of 70% adoption among high-performing teams
- •Cursor's suggestion acceptance rate is ~50%, well above the industry average of 30%, attributed to continuous feedback loops and Grab-specific environment tuning
- •Over a third of merge requests now incorporate Cursor, and ~half of users engage with it 10+ consecutive days per month
- •Top use patterns include unit test generation, code refactoring, cross-repository navigation, bug fixing, and API scaffolding automation
- •Grab built custom monorepo indexing tooling and distributed preconfigured rules to align Cursor with internal coding conventions
- •Non-engineering teams (FP&A, Operations, designers) now build and ship their own tools; designers have merged hundreds
