Nokia analyzes 50M+ lines of code in two weeks with Cursor

Cal Day, SVP of Product and Engineering at Nokia, discusses leveraging Cursor as an agentic platform to introduce specialized, persona-specific agents that partner with human workers. This approach aims to accelerate iteration loops, impacting customer economics by lowering unit costs and improving satisfaction. It also enhances network resilience, reliability, and security. Nokia is at a critical stage, with current year goals hinging on Cursor's success, particularly with a product line exceeding 50 million lines of code. Cursor has enabled the decomposition of a monolithic architecture through automated code inspection, a task that would have been daunting manually. Initial analysis, which would have taken months with a dozen experts and bespoke tooling, was completed in weeks by two people using Cursor. Cursor has also proven successful in quickly resolving customer-impacting defects by accelerating root cause analysis across a large corpus of service requests. These successes are growing, and Nokia plans to further leverage Cursor for multi-agent deployment and orchestration, transforming the engineer's role into agent supervision. This involves a complete redesign of their software development life cycle.
