Cursor has launched the third version of its AI editor, featuring a revamped interface designed for managing AI-based agents.

“Introducing Cursor 3 — a unified workspace for development with agents. The new interface makes AI assistants’ operations more transparent, elevating the user to a higher level of abstraction,” the announcement states.
The software enables the launch of multiple digital assistants locally in the cloud. Task monitoring is facilitated through a new sidebar menu. For clarity, agents generate demos and screenshots of their work.
Developers have added a quick switch feature between modes. A session can be transferred from a computer to the cloud, allowing the virtual assistant to continue working even after the device is turned off. This is effective for long tasks that are typically interrupted when a laptop is closed. The reverse transfer allows for continued testing and code editing on a local PC.
The new change view interface allows for faster editing and review of revisions. Users can delve into the code at any time, viewing necessary files and navigating to definitions directly in the editor.
The integrated browser enables Cursor to open local sites and interact with them. Additionally, hundreds of plugins are available to extend the agents’ capabilities, installable with a single click.
Back in January, a vulnerability was found in the Cursor AI editor that allowed PC control to be intercepted.
