Cursor Launches a New AI Agent Experience to Take On Claude Code and Codex

Cursor announced Cursor 3, an agent-first coding interface that runs inside its desktop app.

The product lets users spin up AI coding agents via natural-language prompts and manage them in a sidebar.

Cursor 3 integrates agentic workflows with Cursor's AI-powered IDE so agents can run in the cloud and code can be reviewed locally.

Cursor faces competition from Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex and is reportedly raising capital at a $50 billion valuation.
