Cursor Projects puts a coordinator agent over thousands of subagents

The beta runs on cloud machines that keep working after you close your laptop — watching Slack, following your PRs, and fixing CI without you in the loop.

  • The coordinator plans, delegates, and hands work back

    Describe a feature, a migration, or a whole app, and the coordinator agent breaks it into tasks and farms them out to thousands of parallel subagents — then returns finished work for you to review. It plans and manages the swarm rather than writing the code itself.

  • It runs in the cloud and keeps going after you close the lid

    Projects live on dedicated cloud machines by default, so agents keep shipping while your laptop is shut. When a task needs local testing, the coordinator spins up an agent on your own machine on demand.

  • Wire it to Slack, your PRs, or a schedule

    Subscriptions let the coordinator watch a Slack channel and act per incident, follow all your PRs to fix CI as they open or merge, or run on a set schedule — turning it from a chat tool into an always-on teammate.

  • The numbers: heavy users merge 6x more PRs

    Cursor says new Projects users merge 30% more PRs, its heaviest users merge six times as many, and one design-system project pushes 20-100 PRs a day. The shift: you become the reviewer and agent manager instead of writing every line.
