Cursor Launches Automations For Developer Workflows

Cursor on Mar 6, 2026 launched Automations, a feature that lets AI coding agents run tasks automatically inside developer workflows, triggering on events like code commits, Slack messages, or timers. The feature reduces manual prompt-and-monitor cycles by allowing agents to perform reviews, security checks, and incident analysis, notifying engineers only when human input is required. Cursor says hundreds of automations run hourly and reports rising customer adoption.
