Cursor launches Projects, a persistent multi-agent coordinator
Cursor launched Projects in beta on Wednesday, a cloud-based coordinator agent that delegates to subagents, retains context across months, and acts on schedules or Slack triggers without user prompting.
Cursor said Tuesday it is rolling out Projects in beta to all users, a shift from single-chat coding agents to long-lived workstreams that persist across months.
Users interact with a coordinator agent that writes no code itself but delegates to subagents — Cursor says a Project can direct thousands. Because the coordinator only delegates, the company says it is never blocked and stays responsive to direction.
Three capabilities underpin it. Projects run cloud-first on their own machine, so closing a laptop doesn't stop work and more subagents can run in parallel than a local machine supports; the coordinator spins up a local agent when something must be tested on your hardware. Each Project keeps a shared context of files that sync across cloud and local agents, accumulating research, codebase knowledge and workflow preferences. And subscriptions let the coordinator watch a Slack channel, run on a schedule, or follow PRs and fix CI without being prompted.
Cursor says it has used Projects internally for several months on migrations spanning a few hundred PRs, design-system upkeep, and building Projects itself. It reports new users merge 30% more PRs, and users who work primarily in Projects merge six times as many. One engineer's design-system Project scans new PRs, extracts components and adds lint rules on repeat mistakes; Cursor says it is on track to touch 20 to 100 PRs a day.
The figures are Cursor's own, drawn from internal use, and the company disclosed no pricing, compute limits or independent benchmarks. Projects is available starting today from the left-hand nav.
