Agents do their best work when they start in a ready environment: repos cloned, dependencies installed, and your install script already run.

This release introduces builds: ready-to-use copies of your development environment that Cursor prepares in the background. Agents boot into a ready environment instead of setting up from scratch each session. Builds are included with Cloud Agents at no additional cost.

#Faster starts

Cursor runs a new build of your environment regularly. When a build succeeds, it becomes the environment future agents start from. Cursor keeps warm copies ready so the next agent does not wait. Internally, our environments now boot 10x faster, with 3x faster time to first token.

Use your install command for anything that can be prepared ahead of time. The start command still runs when you first prompt an agent and should focus on services that need to be fresh in the session.

#More resilient agent runs

When a bad commit or dependency update breaks your environment, agents keep using the last successful build. The broken build never becomes active, you are notified of the issue, and your agents keep working while you debug in the background.

#Build history and debugging

Each environment has a Builds tab in the Cloud Agents dashboard. You can inspect build status, logs, commit SHAs, and which build each agent run used. Agents can also inspect and manage builds using built-in tools.

#Getting started

New environments use Builds automatically. For an existing environment, open it in the Cloud Agents dashboard, go to the Builds tab, and click Enable Builds. Or click Run setup agent first to test the migration and review any proposed config changes.

You can also trigger a Build manually, debug a failing Build with an agent, and control how stale Builds refresh with a configurable threshold.

Cursor can now read, write, and act across your Google Workspace.

New plugins give coding agents direct access to Gmail, Google Drive, and Calendar, so you can pull context, draft and update files, and manage your inbox and calendar without leaving Cursor.

Install plugins to connect:

• Google Drive: search files and folders, open and download content, create and organize files
• Gmail: search and read mail, draft and send messages, apply labels and manage threads
• Google Calendar: read schedules, create and update events, find free time

Browse the new plugins in the Cursor Marketplace or install them from the Customize page in Cursor. Learn more in our docs.

Cursor for iPad is now available on all paid plans.

New to both iPhone and iPad: an inbox to stay organized, and a review experience that covers the full PR. Create, review, and merge from anywhere.

#Built for the bigger screen

The iPad layout is rebuilt around the extra space. Sidebar chats stay pinned so you can watch several agents run at once. Split screen keeps a review open next to a chat, and file diffs render in full.

Markup gets more room to work too. Attach a screenshot, then tap to drop a comment at a specific point, or draw directly on the image with Apple Pencil.

#A full review surface

On iPhone and iPad, the review screen now covers the full PR: comments, checks, and approvals. Add or change reviewers, read comments, and prompt the agent to resolve them. The whole path from agent output to merged PR now travels with you.

#Inbox

An Inbox helps you and your agents stay organized. See what's in progress, what needs your attention, and which PRs are in review.

#Additional improvements for Cursor on iPhone and iPad

• Bitbucket and Azure DevOps SCM support
• Multi-PR sessions: when one chat creates multiple PRs, you can now open every one of them, not just the last.
• Switch between teams that you belong to directly in the app
