Sweating the details @cursor_ai
- I’m helping open @cursor_ai ‘s office in Soho later this month. Hiring talented people in all roles! :)I don't know who needs to hear this but all the top tech companies have offices in NYC you don't have to live like this
- I’ve been at Cursor for 3 months but it’s felt like a year. First time I feel like I’m *truly* on a rocket ship. Excited for all that’s to come!We've raised $2.3B in Series D funding from Accel, Andreessen Horowitz, Coatue, Thrive, Nvidia, and Google. We're also happy to share that Cursor has grown to over $1B in annualized revenue and now produces more code than any other agent in the world. This funding will allow
- Ship a headlining feature in my first 1.5 weeks ✅Replying to @cursor_aiIt’s now easier to steer the agent while it’s running. Sending a new message will schedule at the ideal time, usually after a tool call, versus queuing and waiting until the agent finishes.
00:00 - Excited to announce that the Clarity team (myself and @TheRohanVarma) has joined @cursor_ai. I’ll be moving back to New York City next month to help start our new office there.
- One of my new favorite ways to use Cursor: - Agent Layout - Chat 50%, left - Review Changes 50%, right (press the blue Review button in the chat) (feat. one of my favorite prompts for testing)
- The biggest reason I love working at Cursor is the talent density of the people. It’s so much fun to work on a high-performing team.
- I’ve found using Plan Mode helps me prompt better. The agent will ask me questions and I’ll realize that I should’ve been more clear. It’s excellent for bigger tasks that you really want the agent to get right on the first try.Cursor can now write detailed plans before starting complex tasks. This allows agents to run for significantly longer.
00:00 - Much of Cursor’s success boils down to three words: Fast is funComposer is fast, but it’s intelligence is what makes it fun. Like Tab before it, Composer keeps you in flow and offer reliable acceleration.
- Today was my last day @NotionHQ. Although leaving is bittersweet, I'm excited to take on the founder journey again. More coming soon.
- Lots of big features launching today! Incredibly proud of how hard the team has pushed these past few weeks. My favorite (small) thing we shipped is the walkthrough for the new Agent Layout. Give the new layout a try and let us know what you think!

01:04Introducing Cursor 2.0. Our first coding model and the best way to code with agents. - If you haven't tried cloud (formerly background) agents in some time, I strongly encourage you to try them again. The improvements to speed, reliability, and polish that the team has made are *astounding* compared to where we were at launch a few months ago.Manage a fleet of cloud agents, directly from Cursor. Now with faster startup, improved reliability, and a new UI.
00:00 - A great feeling when people notice the little thingsVery nice how Cursor automatically picks up the word plan and suggests the shortcut
