Cloud agents can now execute on internal infrastructure, keeping codebases and secrets on-premise. Features include dynamic pool scaling that grows with demand and hibernates idle workers, plus computer use (clicks, typing, screenshots) on Linux and Mac self-hosted workers.
Developers can prompt agents without external version control. Cursor creates an Origin repo automatically in the background, agents can preview work live in browser, and publish to Vercel or save to a named Origin repo when ready.
Agents now subscribe to PRs, Slack threads, and scheduled tasks, waking on events. New /goal command enables long-lived objectives, custom modes pin skills for focused behavior, subagents run on isolated VMs, and steering messages don't interrupt execution.
New Codebase tab hosts Origin repos and syncs GitHub repos bidirectionally. Pull requests and comments sync both ways with GitHub, and app integrations connect Vercel for previews, Depot and Buildkite for CI workflows.
New 'Builds' feature prepares development environments in advance with repos cloned and dependencies installed. Agents achieve 10x faster internal boot and 3x faster time-to-token, and failed builds don't become active, keeping agents on last known good state.
