The team behind Cursor, the fast-growing AI coding editor, has launched a new web app that allows developers to manage a network of AI-powered coding agents directly from their browsers. This marks a significant step in Cursor’s evolution beyond its original role as a browser-based Integrated development environment (IDE). With this new tool, users can now assign tasks using plain language and monitor how autonomous agents tackle those tasks in real-time. Whether on desktop or mobile, developers can request new features, bug fixes, or code updates all without leaving the browser.
This move follows a series of recent releases aimed at embedding Cursor more deeply into developers’ workflows. In May, the company introduced background agents that operate with little to no supervision. Then in June, Cursor added a Slack integration, allowing users to assign tasks by tagging @Cursor, similar to how other AI agents like Cognition’s Devin work. The web app builds on that momentum by offering a full interface to monitor and manage agent activity, merge updates, and collaborate through shareable agent links.
Andrew Milich, who leads product engineering at Cursor, explained that these updates are part of a strategy to reduce friction for users and bring the product closer to where work actually happens. According to him, it’s not just about access, it’s about helping developers solve more of their everyday problems. The company reports that Cursor is now used by over half of the Fortune 500, including big names like Nvidia, Uber, and Adobe. This growing demand recently led Anysphere, Cursor’s parent company, to introduce a premium plan priced at $200 per month.
Cursor’s recent success is backed by impressive figures. With over $500 million in annualised recurring revenue, largely from monthly subscriptions, Cursor is gaining ground in the competitive AI tooling space. Yet the team says they’ve moved cautiously, avoiding the rush to release flashy but unreliable tools. Many earlier AI coding agents underperformed in real-world tests. Anysphere believes the time is now right, with advances in AI reasoning making agents practical for everyday use.

Looking ahead, CEO Michael Truell is confident that AI agents will take on a meaningful share of software engineering work. Speaking in a recent interview, he said these agents could handle up to 20 percent of a developer’s workload by 2026. It’s an ambitious forecast, but one that Cursor’s rapid growth and product rollout suggest is not far off.
