Cursor In Browser

The Cursor team just dropped a game-changing announcement — their powerful AI agent is no longer confined to the desktop editor. Now you can access the same intelligent coding assistant through web browsers and mobile devices. This is a significant leap that fundamentally changes how and where we interact with AI development tools.

What's New?

Cursor Agent is now live in browsers at cursor.com/agents. It's the same familiar agent that's already proven itself in the IDE, but now it's completely untethered from any specific device or operating system.

Key Features:

Background task execution — arguably the most exciting feature. You can now set an agent to fix bugs or build new features and go about your day. The agent works in the background while you handle other business, notifying you when it's done.

Cross-platform accessibility — access from any device through a browser. Even better, you can install it as a Progressive Web App (PWA) on iOS or Android for a near-native app experience.

Team collaboration — team members with repository access can review agent diffs, pull requests, and even create PRs directly from the web interface.

Rich context support — attach images, add follow-up instructions, and run multiple agents in parallel to compare results.

Slack Integration

The Slack integration deserves special attention. You can now get notifications when tasks complete and trigger agents directly from chat using "@Cursor". This essentially turns your work chat into a full-featured AI assistant control panel.

Why This Matters

Cursor's expansion beyond the IDE isn't just feature creep — it's a conceptual shift. Development is no longer tied to a specific workstation. Start a task on your laptop, continue from your phone during commute, and finish on a tablet at home.

What's particularly valuable is that when you return to the main Cursor IDE, all the agent's work is available for review, editing, and further development. This creates a seamless workflow across different devices and work contexts.

Looking Forward

Cursor Agent on the web is another step toward a future where AI assistants become truly ubiquitous. When powerful development tools are available wherever there's internet, the boundaries between "work time" and everything else become even more fluid.

The Cursor team continues to demonstrate what modern development tools should look like — not just powerful, but flexible, accessible, and integrated into a developer's natural workflow.

You can try the new functionality right now at cursor.com/agents. Time to see how convenient it is to manage code from your phone while lounging on a beach somewhere.
