Cursor overview
What it is
Cursor is an AI coding product built around agents. It includes Agent (in the editor and the command line), Chat, Cloud Agents, Automations, Bugbot code review and Origin code hosting. It's sold as part of "The X Subscription," one subscription that covers Grok, Cursor and X (models and pricing).
Key features
- Cloud agent canvases: cloud agents can build interactive canvases, and you share a finished one by sending its link.
- Environments API (beta): create and manage cloud agent environments programmatically. Environments support up to 300 repositories, and according to Cursor, large ones "load 5x faster."
- Remote control (Oct 6): see and reply to local agents from the Cursor iOS app. Your computer has to stay on and online.
- Projects (Sep 10, beta): a coordinator agent plans work and hands it off to subagents on a cloud computer.
- Rollouts and Security Review (Sep 23): two bots, available on Teams and Enterprise only.
Getting started
- You can browse apps in the Origin App Marketplace now. To use remote control, download the Cursor iOS app, sign in and approve pairing in the desktop app. App builders should begin with the Origin publishing guide and API reference (changelog).
