02Step-by-Step Guide
1

Download Raw Usage Data

Navigate to the admin panel within Cursor and download the team's usage analytics as a CSV file. This file contains metrics on how engineers are interacting with the AI.

Pro Tip: The CSV file typically contains fields like `accepted_lines`, `chat_lines`, and other interaction metrics that are crucial for the analysis.
2

Initiate Cohort Analysis with a Prompt

Load the CSV file into Cursor's AI chat. Use a clear prompt to ask the AI to perform a cohort analysis on the usage data to identify different types of users.

Prompt:
I want to understand the usage of Cursor. I already know we have light users all the way to power users. What are the natural clusters of usage? Can you find them across the team? What is the best way to cohort them?
3

Review the AI's Execution Plan

Use a capable model like Claude Opus in 'plan mode' within Cursor. This allows you to review and approve the AI's proposed steps for analysis before it executes them.

Pro Tip: The AI's plan will likely include steps to identify cohorts, generate a Python script for analysis, and create an HTML dashboard for visualization.
4

Generate a Visual Dashboard

After approving the plan, let the AI agent execute it. It will generate a Python script to process the CSV data and create an HTML dashboard visualizing the user cohorts and key metrics.

Pro Tip: The dashboard can help you quickly identify different user personas, such as Agent-Heavy users vs. Tab-Heavy users.
5

Create an Actionable Playbook

Use a follow-up prompt to ask the AI to convert the data insights into a practical, gamified playbook with specific guidance for each user cohort.

Prompt:
Based on the data, generate guidance for each user cohort on what they should do to advance and graduate to a super user. I am looking for explicit guidance, effectively like I wanna turn this into some type of playbook.
