title: "Improvements to Cursor Automations"
description: "Cursor Automations are now available in the Agents Window as well as the existing Automations interface, allowing users to create and manage them alongside agents in the same workspace. The release also lets an automation attach multiple repositories, so agents can use context across codebases to deliver, test, and verify tasks, or run with no repository when the work is not code-centered. For no-repo use cases, five Cursor Marketplace templates cover Slack digests, product analytics, FAQ drafting from Slack and documentation context, finance reporting from providers such as Stripe, and customer health monitoring across tools including Granola, Slack, and Databricks. Newly created automations receive a 50% discount on all agent runs for the next seven days, while the release directs users to the documentation for more information."

# Improvements to Cursor Automations

[Cursor](https://yomu.fyi/company/cursor) · May 20, 2026

**Type:** Announcement

## Summary

Cursor Automations are now available in the Agents Window as well as the existing Automations interface, allowing users to create and manage them alongside agents in the same workspace. The release also lets an automation attach multiple repositories, so agents can use context across codebases to deliver, test, and verify tasks, or run with no repository when the work is not code-centered. For no-repo use cases, five Cursor Marketplace templates cover Slack digests, product analytics, FAQ drafting from Slack and documentation context, finance reporting from providers such as Stripe, and customer health monitoring across tools including Granola, Slack, and Databricks. Newly created automations receive a 50% discount on all agent runs for the next seven days, while the release directs users to the documentation for more information.

## Context

The release expands Cursor Automations beyond a single-repository workflow by adding Agents Window access, multiple repository attachments, and repository-free configurations. It also adds five no-repo templates and offers 50% off agent runs for newly created automations during the next seven days.

## Approach / What changed

The change integrates Automations into the Agents Window, supports attaching multiple repositories to one automation, and permits automations without any repository. Five Marketplace templates provide starting points for Slack, analytics, FAQ, finance, and customer-health workflows.

## Takeaways

- An automation can now attach multiple repositories, giving agents context across codebases for delivery, testing, and verification tasks.
- Automations can run without an attached repository for workflows such as Slack summaries, analytics digests, finance reporting, and customer-health monitoring.
- All agent runs for newly created automations are 50% off for the next seven days.

## FAQ

### Can one automation work across multiple repositories?

Yes. Multiple repositories can be attached to an automation, allowing agents to reason across the required context and work across repositories to deliver, test, and verify tasks.

### What are no-repo automations intended to do?

They support workflows apart from code, where agents monitor tools and act on important signals. Examples include summarizing Slack messages, reporting product metrics, drafting FAQ responses, pulling recurring-revenue data, and flagging changing customer-health signals.

### What starter templates are available for no-repo automations?

The Cursor Marketplace adds five templates: Slack digest, product analytics, product FAQ, product finance, and customer health. The examples use tools and data sources including Slack, Databricks, Stripe, and Granola.
