Problem

Naver sought to improve software development efficiency and employees' familiarity with AI. Coding assistance was one route into wider workplace use.

Approach

Naver distributed trial access to Anysphere's Cursor coding assistant in June 2025. It encouraged employees to use the tool from June 4. Employees were actively using it for work when the deployment was reported later that month.

Results

4,500employees given Cursor trial access; active-user count was not establishedPress reporting[1]

Takeaway

The reported distribution count described access, rather than active usage. Naver did not publish a measured productivity gain.
