Cursor adds always-on Automations and a plain-English /automate
Cursor's June update leans hard into background work: always-on agents that chew through repetitive tasks, an /automate skill that builds workflows from plain language, and expanded GitHub and Slack triggers. Cloud agents can now drive a browser to produce demos.

Following the 3.6 release in late May, Cursor's June work is all about agents that keep running when you are not watching. The new Automations layer lets you stand up always-on agents for the boring recurring jobs.
- An /automate skill that turns a plain-language description into a workflow
- More GitHub and Slack triggers to kick those workflows off
- Computer use for cloud agents, so they can produce demos and artifacts
Our take
Every serious tool is converging on the same shape: dispatch work, walk away, review later. The interesting question is whose triggers and review loop feel least annoying.
