The system, called Automations, automatically launches agents triggered by events like new code additions, Slack messages, or timers. This aims to shift engineers from a \u201cprompt-and-monitor\u201d dynamic to a model where humans are looped in only when needed.<\/p>\n<p>The tool addresses the complexity of overseeing dozens of coding agents simultaneously. By automating agent launches, the system seeks to reduce the manual tracking required in agentic coding environments. This moves the workflow toward a \u201cconveyor belt\u201d model where human intervention is targeted and specific.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>We&#039;re introducing Cursor Automations to build always-on agents. pic.twitter.com\/uxgTbncJlM<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Cursor (@cursor_ai) March 5, 2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The system expands upon the existing \u201cBugbot\u201d feature, which reviews new code for bugs. Using Automations, Bugbot\u2019s capabilities have been extended to include more involved security audits and thorough reviews. \u201cThis idea of thinking harder, spending more tokens to find harder issues, has been really valuable,\u201d said engineering lead Josh Ma.<\/p>\n<p>Cursor utilizes the system for various operational tasks beyond code review. It triggers agents to query server logs immediately following PagerDuty incidents. A separate automation provides weekly summaries of codebase changes to the company\u2019s internal Slack channel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not that humans are completely out of the picture,\u201d said Jonas Nelle, Cursor\u2019s engineering chief for asynchronous agents. \u201cThey\u2019re called in at the right points in this conveyor belt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The launch occurs amid competition from OpenAI and Anthropic in the agentic coding space. Ramp data indicates Cursor\u2019s market share is holding steady at roughly 25% of generative AI clients.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the competition, Cursor\u2019s financial growth remains high. Bloomberg reported this week that Cursor\u2019s annual revenue has grown to over $2 billion. The company\u2019s revenue has doubled over the past three months.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Featured image credit<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cursor launched a new automation tool designed to manage coding agents on Thursday.
