Been using ChatGPT/Gemini for basic CRM script stuff for months. Got tired of the constant corrections and hallucinations on simple API calls.
Switched to Cursor this week. Gave it the same task: write a script to sync lost HubSpot deals to a Snowflake table for analysis.
The difference isn't subtle. The code-specific one:
- Actually knew the HubSpot `deals/v1/deal/recent/created` endpoint is deprecated.
- Generated the correct `crm/v3/objects/deals` call with proper property names.
- Knew to handle the pagination correctly without me specifying.
- Output ready-to-run Python with the `requests` library, not pseudocode.
Finished in one shot. No "actually, that endpoint doesn't exist" follow-up. 😅
It's like using a dedicated CRM vs. a spreadsheet. One's built for the job.
CRM is a means, not an end.
