Cursor has started rolling out Projects to all users, a new workspace inside the coding tool that is meant to hold long-running work rather than a single chat. The company says a Project can carry context across months of effort and take on jobs as varied as a feature, a migration, or a whole application. It is available in beta, and the rollout begins today.
The feature lives in the left-hand navigation of Cursor. Each Project runs on its own cloud computer, so shutting a laptop does not halt the work in progress. A coordinator agent sits at the center: it plans and hands out tasks but does not write code itself, and it returns completed work for the user to review.
That coordinator can create and manage agents on the user's behalf and run several of them at once when a job calls for it. The company says a single Project can delegate to thousands of subagents. When a task needs testing on the user's own machine, the coordinator can spin up a local agent for that purpose.
Every Project keeps its own set of files, and those files stay in sync between the cloud machine and any local machines the agents touch. Agents contribute research, artifacts, and things they learn about the codebase as they work. They also note how the user prefers to work, so the shared context inside a Project accumulates over time and the coordinator, according to Cursor, gets more effective as it goes.
Projects can also act without being asked. Cursor says the coordinator watches for signals and responds on its own, and it can follow all of a user's pull requests. One example the company gives is a Slack channel used for bug reports, where each incoming bug can trigger a delegation.
Cursor did not disclose pricing for Projects, and it gave no date for when the beta rollout will finish.
The launch follows a run of additions to the editor. A July release brought side chats, started with /side, /btw, or a plus button, that inherit context from the main conversation, along with search across past conversations. In June, Cursor introduced a Customize page that gathers plugins, skills, and MCPs in one place, paired with a marketplace leaderboard showing which ones are popular.
Projects pushes that same customization idea further by giving the coordinator a persistent memory of a codebase and its owner. What the announcement does not say is how a Project's cloud machine is billed or what limits apply to the subagents it can spawn.
