Cursor adds autonomous agent task previews
What changed
- Added a new "Inbox Manager" agent demo that drafts emails and files expense reports.
- Updated the "Build Landing Page" demo to show specific technical steps like preloading fonts and inlining CSS.
- Added a "Thought" process indicator to demos, showing the AI's step-by-step reasoning (e.g., "Thought 6s").
- Updated the model selection UI to show Grok 4.7 as the default suggested model.
- Added a comprehensive cookie consent and privacy preference center.
Why it matters
Cursor is showing more complex, multi-step agent behaviors in their marketing. This suggests the tool is moving from simple code edits to handling entire workflows like building landing pages or managing inboxes autonomously.
