The Cursor team shared their internal usage experiences: while commonly seen as a coding tool, many of their actual use cases have nothing to do with writing code.
Employees are using it as a general-purpose agent for daily tasks like data analysis, bug triage, project management, and research. This indicates that coding agents are becoming a solid foundation for various types of work, hinting at the future trajectory of AI tools.
