## Summary

Box selected Cursor as its enterprise agentic coding platform after evaluating data privacy, security, and agent-quality controls. More than 85% of Box developers, or over 800 people, now use Cursor daily, while the company reports a 30–50% increase in product-roadmap throughput and migrations completed 80–90% faster. Box encodes agent guardrails in custom Cursor rules and commands, including a frontend AI toolkit, automated test-coverage work, and rules for React and design-system migrations. A mentorship program pairing power users with newer adopters increased Cursor usage by 75% and power users by 25% in six weeks, while Box says it can move faster without compromising product quality, security, or accessibility.

## Context

Box wanted an enterprise-ready agentic coding platform that could increase roadmap throughput without compromising product security and quality. Its evaluation emphasized data privacy, security, governance, and agent quality, reflecting the requirements associated with Box’s sensitive customer content and data.

## Approach / What changed

Box rolled out Cursor as its core IDE and agent platform, defining guardrails in code through custom rules and commands. Teams created a frontend AI toolkit, extended automated test coverage, and used migration-specific rules. Box also supported adoption with a mentorship program pairing Cursor power users with newer users.

## Takeaways

- Box reports a 30–50% increase in product-roadmap delivery since adopting Cursor, with more than 800 developers using it daily and 85% adoption across engineering.
- Custom Cursor rules were used to structure a React migration and a design-system migration; Box says the projects were completed 80% and 90% faster than expected, respectively.
- A six-week mentorship program increased Cursor usage by 75% and the number of power users by 25%, pairing experienced users with newer adopters for weekly guidance.
