Release Notes
Cursor Projects
Today we're launching Projects in Cursor. Projects lets you take on larger bodies of work, such as a feature, a migration, or a full app. It maintains context over months of work, delegates tasks to thousands of subagents, and performs recurring work without being prompted.
Powered by Cloud Agents
A Project runs on its own computer in the cloud, so closing your laptop doesn't stop it. When something needs testing on your machine, the coordinator spins up a local agent to run it there.
You shouldn't have to onboard an agent every time you start a task. Each Project maintains a set of files that sync across every cloud and local machine its agents use. Agents add research and artifacts, along with what they learn about the codebase and how you prefer work to be done. If one agent figures out how to test a service, for example, every future agent can use those instructions. The shared context grows with the Project, making the coordinator more effective over time.
Subscriptions
Tell the coordinator agent to watch a Slack channel, run on a schedule, or follow all your PRs. This way it can take action based on signals it detects, without waiting for your prompt.
Connect Slack and point it at a bug-report channel, and it starts delegating each time a bug comes in.
Projects are available in beta and rolling out to all users starting today.
