Cloud agents make it easy to run many agents at once, without requiring your laptop to stay connected to the internet.

You can now manage cloud agents from your Cursor editor, and access them from anywhere using a significantly improved cursor.com/agents.

How Cursor Uses Cloud Agents

1. Fixing Bugs

It’s now often faster to kick off a cloud agent from Slack or Cursor than it is to add an issue to a tracker like Linear.

The ability to quickly hand off bug fixes to cloud is especially useful when we’re working on something important, and come across a bug that we don’t want to get distracted by. We just kick off cloud agents to fix it in the background, and come back to check the solution whenever we’re ready.

We will usually have multiple models attempt the same problem and pick the best result. We’ve found that this significantly improves the final output, especially for harder bugs that may require a handful of precise changes to be fully resolved.

2. Quick Todos

The list of things we want to do has always been much longer than the list of things we have time for. Now we’re finding that smaller todos can be quickly handed over to cloud agents—often when planning our day in the morning, or kicking off some tasks before lunch.

Some of us commute to work, and use cursor.com/agents to put a set of cloud agents to work before we even arrive at the office.

3. Assisting with Complex Features

For more complex features, we’ve had success using cloud agents to take over once we have a detailed plan in place and have determined how we want the feature to be implemented. Cursor's plan mode supports sending plans to be implemented in the cloud. We will often iterate with a model locally to create a plan, and then move on to the next task while a cloud agent implements the changes.

We have also revamped the GPT-5 Codex agent harness to work better for long time horizons in the cloud.

We are excited for you to try the new Cloud Agents workflow. You can try Cloud Agents today in the Cursor editor and Cursor Web, as well as Slack, Linear, and GitHub.
