“Introducing Cursor 3 — a unified workspace for agent-driven development. The new interface makes AI assistants more transparent and elevates the user to a higher level of abstraction,” the announcement states.

We’re introducing Cursor 3. It is simpler, more powerful, and built for a world where all code is written by agents, while keeping the depth of a development environment.

The software allows users to run multiple digital assistants locally or in the cloud. Task progress can be monitored through a new sidebar. For better visibility, agents generate demos and screenshots of their work.

Developers have also added fast switching between modes. A session can be transferred from a computer to the cloud, allowing the virtual assistant to continue working even after the device is turned off. This is especially useful for long-running tasks that would otherwise be interrupted when closing a laptop. The reverse transfer enables continued testing and code editing on a local machine.

The new change review interface makes it faster to edit and verify updates. Users can dive into the code at any time by opening relevant files and navigating directly to definitions within the editor.

A built-in browser allows Cursor to open and interact with local websites. Additionally, hundreds of plugins are available to extend agent capabilities, all installable with a single click.

Cursor 3 signals a shift from traditional coding tools toward agent-based development environments. The focus on abstraction and orchestration of AI assistants can significantly increase developer productivity, especially for complex and long-running tasks.
