Cursor 3

Summary

Software development is changing, and so is Cursor. In the last year, we moved from manually editing files to working with agents that write most of our code. How we create software will continue to evolve as we enter the third era of software development, where fleets of agents work autonomously to ship improvements. We're building toward this future, but there is a lot of work left to make it happen. Engineers are still micromanaging individual agents, trying to keep track of different conversations, and jumping between multiple terminals, tools, and windows. We're introducing Cursor 3, a unified workspace for building software with agents. The new Cursor interface brings clarity to the work agents produce, pulling you up to a higher level of abstraction, with the ability to dig deeper when you want. It's faster, cleaner, and more powerful, with a multi-repo layout, seamless handoff between local and cloud agents, and the option to switch back to the Cursor IDE at any time. #What's new in Cursor 3 When we started building Cursor, we forked VS Code instead of building an extension so we could shape our own surface. With Cursor 3, we took that a step further by building this new interface from scratch, centered around agents. #All your agents in one place The new interface is inherently multi-workspace, allowing humans and agents to work across different repos. #Run many agents in parallel Working with agents is now much easier. All local and cloud agents appear in the sidebar, including the ones you kick off from mobile, web, desktop, Slack, GitHub, and Linear. Cloud agents produce demos and screenshots of their work for you to verify. This is the same experience you get at cursor.com/agents, now integrated into the desktop app. #New UX for handoff between local and cloud We made moving agents between environments really fast. Move an agent session from cloud to local when you want to make edits and test it on your own desktop. Composer 2, our own frontier coding m...
