How SpaceXAI Uses Cursor
Software delivery at SpaceXAI no longer looks like a person writing a PR and waiting on a queue. A majority of our merged PRs are fully done by cloud agents, end to end. In nine months, PR volume grew 5x. That is how a small team ships Origin, a new take on GitHub, and Grok Bot, a general-purpose worker, without slowing down the core product.
Faster coding just moved the bottleneck. Review, CI, security, and ownership still had to happen, and they could not scale as a human queue. So we automated those loops, and left people on the work that actually needs judgment.
Most of it runs in the background. Long-running cloud agents sit on their own machines for hours: a Slack thread, incident, a ticket, or a red build starts one, it investigates and reproduces, then it opens a PR. Other agents review for bugs and security and size the risk. If CI fails, another agent reads the logs and failed tests and tries a fix. Low-risk PRs can self-drive through merge.
This is the factory we run internally.
