We're continuing to improve cloud agents in Cursor.
They pick up work from events, hold a goal until it's met, and stay on course through long sessions.
Cursor can now monitor your PRs, watch a Slack thread, or run scheduled tasks. Cloud agents automatically subscribe to PRs they create and drive them to completion.
Use any skill as a Custom Mode: a skill that stays pinned in the chat. You can think about it like always-on skills.
From /, pick a skill and press ⌥⏎ (Mac) or Alt+Enter (Windows), or choose Use as Mode.
Subagents can now run on their own virtual machines, each with an isolated copy of the project.
Have them test the parent agent's changes in a fresh environment, or swarm independent fixes.
multi-agent — Using several AI agents on one problem — splitting work in parallel, checking each other, or filling different roles like planner and reviewer.
AI agent — An AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.
