IMDEX uses Cursor to build integrated subsurface data and analytics platform in months, not years
Article image or reusable cover for Cursor
Mining technology company IMDEX uses Cursor, an AI coding tool, to build geological data platforms significantly faster than before.
A project that would have taken two to three years and required 20 new engineers was completed in eight months. Another project, where they updated legacy code to modern technology, took six months instead of three to five years. IMDEX conducted intensive developer training over one month ("AI July") to teach staff how to effectively use AI tools in their daily work.
The data-platform work landed in eight months, but without Cursor it would have taken 20 additional engineers, two to three years, and millions of dollars.
