Cursor adds realtime voice calls with agents
Cursor now lets developers hold two-way voice conversations with coding agents across its IDE, web and iOS apps, so they can direct work and get spoken progress updates without typing.
Cursor announced voice chat, a realtime two-way voice mode for its coding agents. It works in the Agents Window, the IDE, on the web and in Cursor for iOS.
Users can describe a change out loud, ask an agent what it is working on, and hear updates as the work moves forward. A voice agent listens, replies and hands coding tasks to the agent in the chat. While that agent runs, the user can keep talking: ask what changed in a diff, check on a run, search earlier messages and calls with the same agent, or switch between workers in a Project that has more than one.
The coding agent also speaks. It gives short progress notes while it works and a brief answer when it finishes, so users usually hear a short update rather than the full written reply.
The feature runs on Grok Voice, and users can choose from several voices, including Ara, Eve, Leo, Rex and Sal. Cursor says voice chat runs with zero data retention when Privacy Mode is on.
On iOS, saying "Hey Siri, call Cursor" starts a call with a new agent, and a Live Activity lets users mute or hang up from the Lock Screen. On desktop, users start a call with a waveform button that appears where Send usually sits, but only when the agent is idle and the chat input is empty.
Voice chat is separate from dictation, which earlier releases called Voice Mode. Dictation still turns speech into text in the chat input, and Cmd+Shift+Space still toggles it in the IDE. Cursor did not say anything about pricing or usage limits for voice chat.
