90% of code written with AI
25-40% productivity gain
Unified AI-driven workspace
Context and Challenge
Our client, Guesty, is a global property management platform serving the short-term rental industry. Forbytes engineers work inside Guesty’s development team as an extension of their in-house staff.
AI is already standard practice across the property management industry. Guesty’s engineering was working well before AI adoption, but the workflow still had a few limitations:
- Engineers spent hours on tasks that didn’t need a human decision
- Tooling was scattered across many separate systems
To preserve its competitive edge and market-leading position, Guesty moved quickly to adopt AI across engineering.
Client’s Objectives
Guesty approached AI readiness as a company-wide shift. The key goals were:
- Free engineers to spend more time on quality and less on manual overhead
- Automate repetitive tasks: testing, monitoring, ticket triage, code review
- Boost engineering productivity without inflating headcount
- Standardize how AI gets used and make the workflow consistent
- Reach full AI readiness across the development team

Project Overview
Guesty built its AI-ready environment around Cursor, and Forbytes engineers work in this setup every day.
AI for Writing Code
Cursor is the main tool for both Guesty’s in-house engineers and the Forbytes developers. Around 90% of the code produced by the team now starts as an AI draft. That doesn’t mean less oversight — engineers still write code to check what AI produces. However, the time spent on the first pass of a feature has dropped significantly.
AI for Testing and Review
Testing follows the same pattern. AI handles a large share of automated and manual testing. It can produce a demo of a new feature for engineers to sign off on before release. Nothing ships without a human looking at it, but the human isn’t building the test suite from scratch anymore.
AI and Tooling
Grafana alerts, Split.io toggles, Jira tickets, Slack code reviews, log investigations — all of this routes through Cursor now. An engineer who used to jump between five tools to resolve a support ticket can do most of that work from one place. Most of the interfaces used before now sit behind a single AI-linked workspace.
What Stays with People
Product managers at Guesty own the client relationship. It shapes what gets built regardless of how fast the code behind it comes. That division of labor holds for Forbytes engineers, too: less time writing from scratch, more time deciding what’s right. Nobody’s automating the conversation with a client about why a feature matters. That’s the part of the job AI is never going to take. In our work, the real user needs, pains, and goals are what matter the most.
Qualitative Results
The development process became faster and more predictable. Still, it didn’t lose the human judgment that requirements and client needs depend on. The results of AI adoption at Guesty include:
- Faster delivery on routine engineering tasks
- More consistent code review: every pull request gets an automated first pass
- Reduced manual, repetitive work for engineers
- One connected workspace instead of a patchwork of separate tools
- Consistent AI-ready workflow across in-house and extended team members

Let's Get in Touch
Forbytes created an app that allowed users to quickly measure themselves to be fitted for custom shirts. As a result, we could increase our speed, quality, and shirt output per week. Forbytes was dedicated to delivering a solution that accurately addressed our needs.
Forbytes’ engineers and team leads worked as part of our RnD group and were directly managed by our company directors. They were both proactive and adaptable, qualities that perfectly match our needs in our fast-growing and constantly evolving environment.
Forbytes has a strong process-oriented way of leading the company, with good respect for themselves and their managers. They made a choice not to become too big but build slowly on more qualified people, which is paying off.
