Built from scratch around agents rather than as an extension, its multi-workspace interface brings local and cloud agents into one sidebar across multiple repositories and supports parallel work. Sessions can move from cloud to local for desktop editing and testing, or from local to cloud for offline and longer-running work; cloud agents also produce demos and screenshots for verification. The new diffs view streamlines editing and review through staging, committing, and PR management, while files with full LSPs, an integrated browser, and Marketplace plugins retain IDE capabilities; users can switch back to the Cursor IDE. Cursor says these foundational pieces—model, product, and runtime—are in place for more autonomous agents and team collaboration, while IDE investment continues until codebases are self-driving."

# Meet the new Cursor

**Type:** Announcement

## Summary

Cursor 3 is a unified workspace for building software with agents, introduced as Cursor moves toward a third era in which fleets of agents work autonomously to ship improvements. Built from scratch around agents rather than as an extension, its multi-workspace interface brings local and cloud agents into one sidebar across multiple repositories and supports parallel work. Sessions can move from cloud to local for desktop editing and testing, or from local to cloud for offline and longer-running work; cloud agents also produce demos and screenshots for verification. The new diffs view streamlines editing and review through staging, committing, and PR management, while files with full LSPs, an integrated browser, and Marketplace plugins retain IDE capabilities; users can switch back to the Cursor IDE. Cursor says these foundational pieces—model, product, and runtime—are in place for more autonomous agents and team collaboration, while IDE investment continues until codebases are self-driving.

## Context

Engineers are still micromanaging individual agents, tracking separate conversations, and switching among terminals, tools, and windows. Cursor positions the new workspace as a step toward autonomous fleets of agents that can ship software improvements.

## Approach / What changed

Cursor 3 builds a new agent-centered interface from scratch, with multi-repository workspaces, parallel local and cloud agents, fast session handoff between environments, a diffs view for staging and pull-request management, file navigation with full LSPs, an integrated browser, and Marketplace plugins.

## Takeaways

- Local and cloud agent sessions can be transferred in either direction: to local for desktop editing and testing, or to cloud for offline and longer-running work.
- Cloud agents produce demos and screenshots for verification, and agents launched from mobile, web, desktop, Slack, GitHub, and Linear appear in the desktop sidebar.
- Cursor 3 retains IDE-oriented features including file viewing, go-to-definition with full LSPs, an integrated browser for local websites, and one-click plugin installation from the Cursor Marketplace.
