Cursor, the company known for its popular AI coding editor, has launched a new web app that lets users manage AI coding agents right from their browser. This means users can now give tasks to these AI helpers without needing to use the full Cursor coding software.
Cursor’s parent company, Anysphere, is slowly growing beyond its original product, which was an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) used mainly by developers. In the last few months, the company has added new features to make AI agents more useful and easier to access.
New Tools for Easier Coding
In May, Cursor launched background agents, which are AI bots that can fix code or build features without needing a person to guide them. In June, Cursor added a Slack integration, so users could simply tag @Cursor in a Slack message to assign a task.
Now, with the new web app, users can ask the AI to fix bugs or add features by typing requests in normal English on their computer or phone. They can also check what tasks the AI agents are working on, track their progress, and even merge the changes into their actual code once the agent is done.
According to Andrew Milich, who leads product engineering at Cursor, the goal is to make it easier for developers to get help from Cursor’s tools — wherever they work.
Used by Big Companies
Cursor is growing fast. Last month, Anysphere shared that the tool now brings in $500 million every year, and is used by over half of the Fortune 500 companies, including NVIDIA, Uber, and Adobe.
The company recently introduced a Pro plan for $200 per month and has cheaper plans starting at $20/month. Only paid users can access the background agents and the new web app.
While Cursor isn’t the first to offer AI coding agents, the team says they’ve worked hard to avoid releasing tools that don’t work well. They believe AI is now strong enough to handle at least 20% of a software engineer’s job by 2026.
