Summary

Cursor is rolling out Projects in beta, a system where a coordinator agent plans and delegates work to parallel coding agents running on cloud machines, keeping context across sessions. It supports scheduled tasks, Slack monitoring, and PR follow-through for CI fixes. Cursor reports primary Projects users merge six times as many PRs, and new users merge 30% more.

Why it matters

Coordinator agent model keeps planning separate from execution — it stays responsive while parallel agents research, implement, and test across cloud and local machines.
Projects can watch Slack, follow PRs to fix CI, and run scheduled tasks, enabling persistent 'gardening' workflows (code-quality upkeep, regression monitoring) beyond single chat sessions.
30% PR-merge lift for new users; 6× lift for users who adopt Projects as their primary workflow — the strongest public productivity metric for an agentic coding tool to date.
Shared file sync carries codebase knowledge, testing instructions, and developer preferences across cloud and local agents, giving each task context from prior work.
Cursor used Projects internally for months on migrations spanning hundreds of PRs and design-system maintenance, including a Project expected to open 20-100 PRs per day.
