Dynamic pool scheduling

My Machines connects a single laptop or VM to your account for personal workflows. Team pools are named queues of workers for a team or enterprise. Capacity can grow as requests arrive and shrink when workers disconnect, so your self-hosted machines can scale with demand. Pools are not tied to one repository: name the pool, and any available worker can claim the request. Pools can also hibernate idle machines, then restore within a reconnect window when a follow-up arrives, so you don't keep expensive capacity warm just for the next prompt.

Run on your sandboxes

Cloud agents can now execute on infrastructure you already use , including from AWS Lambda, Coder, Cloudflare, Daytona, Modal, Namespace, Vercel, and E2B.

Cloud Agents and Cursor Harness Improvements

With this release, cloud agents can automatically pick up work in response to events, hold a goal until it's met, and stay on course through long-running sessions.

Subscriptions

Cursor can now monitor your PRs, watch a Slack thread, or run scheduled tasks. Cursor Agent subscribes to an event source (a thread or conversation) and wakes when something happens. Subscriptions are available for cloud agents only, for now. Cloud agents automatically subscribe to PRs they create and drive them to completion, fixing CI and addressing bot comments. In Slack, ask @cursor check back in an hour and keep going until that feedback is in .

Custom modes

Use any skill as a Custom Mode: a skill that stays pinned in the chat. Custom modes keep agents focused on a skill - you can think about it like "always on" skills. From / , pick a skill and press ⌥⏎ (Mac) or Alt+Enter (Windows), or choose Use as Mode .
