Six AI startups are part of Jensen Huang's vision for human-digital workforces.
"Future workforces in enterprise will be a combination of humans and digital humans. Some of them will be OpenAI-based, and some of it would be Harvey-based or Open Evidence or Cursor or Replit or Lovable," the Nvidia CEO said in an interview with Citadel Securities published on Tuesday.
Huang's wide-ranging list included OpenAI, which makes large language models, legal tech darling Harvey, and AI healthcare tool OpenEvidence. Replit, Cursor, and Lovable offer AI-powered coding or "vibe coding" tools.
Nvidia is investing up to $100 billion in OpenAI to build data centers running the chipmaker's systems, the companies said last month.
In his Citadel talk, Huang specifically highlighted Anysphere-owned Cursor. He said that 100% of Nvidia's software engineers and chip designers use Cursor.
"We now have AIs for all of our engineers," he said. "Productivity gains, the work that we do is so much better."
Nvidia declined to comment further.
In June, Business Insider reported that Amazon was in talks with Cursor to adopt the AI coding tool internally after employees demanded it.
Huang has long said that AI and "biological" employees will work together in the future. AI agents break down a task into multiple smaller steps, each tackling a specific part to achieve a broader objective.
In Huang's January keynote at CES, one of the world's largest tech trade shows, he proclaimed, "The age of agentic AI is here."
In a podcast last October, Huang explained how the human and AI employees would work together. He described a future where the technology giant would mass-deploy AI assistants, also called agents, across every division to improve output.
"I'm hoping that Nvidia someday will be a 50,000-employee company with a 100 million, you know, AI assistants, in every single group," Huang said.
Human-AI integration is gaining venture capital attention, too.
Late last month, General Catalyst's CEO Hemant Taneja said that true AI integration has four non-negotiables, and one of them is planning for how humans and AI will work together.
"Some humans are going to manage AI agents. Some AI agents are going to manage humans," he said on a podcast appearance. "Imagine how the org charts have to change."
