Cursor shipped Automations – cloud-based agents that trigger off Slack messages, GitHub PR merges, Linear issues, PagerDuty incidents, or cron schedules and run autonomously in sandboxed environments. Each agent follows configured instructions, uses MCPs to connect with tools like Datadog and Notion, and has a memory system that learns from past executions. The practical use cases lean heavily toward the work developers avoid: security audits on every push, test coverage gap detection, bug triage, weekly repo summaries. Rippling and Runlayer are already using them in production. The move mirrors what Windsurf, Devin, and Factory have been building toward – shifting AI coding tools from in-editor assistants to persistent background workers that own chunks of the development lifecycle without being prompted.
