Cloud Agents
“We had Wilson, one of our researchers, go ahead and actually develop a browser across thousands of commits. Um and it was able to actually simulate almost Google Chrome functionality. We also gave cloud agents the ability to um have [clears…”
Cursor for Mobile Developers
“changes it does um within this integrated cursor browser itself. And the last piece of this right side panel is going to be this kind of review pane. Right? So, as agents work, they're able to review the work that that it does. And you can…”
Securing Agentic Coding at Scale
“really where we'll spend the majority of the time is talking about the controls we've built for governing uh AI agents. So to kick things off um we'll dive into sort of these three capabilities in a bit more detail. Uh the first is going to…”
Cursor 101
“But when you pull in one of those plugins, you also pull in skills, which I classified earlier as basically like power-ups for your application. Skills um and rules are two elements that really enable you to get the most out of Cursor as yo…”
Cursor 201
“You can keep them at a user level. You can also keep them at a or repo repo level. Um, and commit them to your source code um, and then anybody who pulls that repo will have access to those uh, skills and rules and sub agents. Um, and then…”
Cursor Rules, Commands, Hooks, and Skills
“suite, uh fixing compile errors, creating a pull request, spinning up local servers. These are all things that typically take more than one action to kick off. Uh let's use for example um committing and pushing some new code. Uh when you co…”

Refactoring Legacy Codebases

Cursor for Product Managers
“certain features to behave um in certain edge cases, that's going to really enhance the way that you're writing these plans so that you can deliver something with greater impact. Moving forward, we're actually seeing some of our PMs uh move…”
Cursor for Sales Engineers
“the codebase. So um I will often do that even in our uh repo. I'll have the agent build out reports or like put new files into the into the repo. I just won't commit those. Uh but no, there's no kind of enterprise control over uh which uh w…”
How Cursor uses Cursor
“Related to our increase in cloud agent usage, I would say that most engineers at Cursor are probably going through this process, where instead of actually going in and locally making changes, rather they're just delegating this task to a cl…”
Refactoring Legacy Codebases
“they're failing and that they're the right spec for what you need. You commit the test and then you ask the agent to go write code and keep going until it passes the test. This is the verifiable outputs thing. Like engineers were doing this…”
Cursor 101
“The reason it did this is because I defined something called a rule. Let me show you what a rule looks like. So, if you go here on the left, I'm going to open this directory, rules, and open up documentation standards. So, the way rules wor…”
Cursor 201
“It's chat for a new agent. Um you can just do this when you're kind of hitting that limit. Uh summarize what you've done what what you've done up to this point. Um and I think what's what's important is like you know, just the chat itself,…”

“building out a mock backend while you're building building out the front end or maybe something like building out the entire MVP with one agent and perhaps having a second agent document all this for you in a way that is digestible. So an e…”
Cursor x Slack
“code and I can run as I kind of create that code kind of like do all of that busy work for me. And it's great because it's one thing that I like don't like doing, but it's kind of necessary if you want to like kind of prove what you've been…”
Developer Productivity Trends
“And, um, and so, you know, cursor like being an AI native company, uh, we really do see sort of, uh, we have a front row seat into how AI shapes productivity. And so what I've seen across the industry is that um you know we used to have a l…”
PRD to PR
“I can look at the commits. I can see kind of the summary of the changes. And then, for example, if you had bug bug bot enabled on this repo, I could simply just have it run to double-check it. Um so, again, kind of like summarizing, cuz we…”
