Cursor has launched a new feature called Automations that enables AI coding agents to perform tasks autonomously within a developer's workflow. This automation reduces the need for constant human prompting, allowing agents to initiate actions based on predefined conditions. Jonas Nelle, Cursor’s engineering chief, highlighted that engineers remain essential but are no longer initiators. With automation, Cursor is also reporting a surge in demand, with annual revenue surpassing $2 billion, doubling within three months.
