Earlier this spring, Alex Balazs hosted an internal hackathon at business software provider Intuit, where the chief technology officer challenged his global team of engineers to embrace artificial intelligence in their work as much as they could.
To give them the tools to do so, one week before the biannual meeting, Balazs approved the usage of “every AI coding tool that we’re aware of,” including Qodo, Windsurf, and Cursor. He quickly saw that thousands of Intuit’s engineers were using these tools, up from hundreds previously.
