Cursor, the company behind the popular AI coding editor, has launched a new web application that allows users to manage a network of AI coding agents directly from any web browser on desktop or mobile devices. This marks a significant expansion beyond Cursor’s original integrated development environment (IDE), enabling developers to assign tasks, monitor progress, and merge code changes via natural language commands without needing to open the desktop IDE.
Key features of the new web app include:
-
Natural language task assignment: Users can instruct AI agents to write new features, fix bugs, or answer complex codebase questions simply by typing requests in the browser.
-
Background autonomous agents: These AI systems work independently on coding tasks without continuous user supervision, running asynchronously in the background.
-
Cross-device access: The app works on any desktop, tablet, or mobile browser and can be installed as a Progressive Web App (PWA) for a native-like experience on iOS and Android.
-
Collaboration and code integration: Team members can review agent-generated diffs, create pull requests, and merge changes directly from the web interface, streamlining team workflows.
-
Slack integration: Users can trigger agents and receive notifications through Slack by tagging @Cursor, further integrating AI coding assistance into developer communication channels.
The launch reflects Cursor’s goal to “remove the friction” in developer workflows by making AI coding assistance more accessible and flexible. Cursor’s platform is already widely adopted, with over half of the Fortune 500 companies using it, and the company recently reported over $500 million in annual recurring revenue. The web app aims to support the growing trend of AI handling an increasing share of coding tasks, with Cursor targeting AI to manage about 20% of coding work by 2026.
Cursor’s new web app empowers developers to manage AI coding agents anywhere, enhancing productivity and collaboration by extending AI-assisted coding beyond the traditional desktop IDE to a seamless, browser-based experience on all devices.
