Cursor said its latest release lets cloud agents respond to events, retain a goal through long-running sessions, and monitor pull requests, Slack threads, or scheduled tasks.

Agents that create pull requests can subscribe to them, then address CI failures and bot comments. The release also adds isolated virtual machines for subagents, each with a clean project copy and context, plus a way to send follow-up instructions while an agent is working.

Subscriptions are available only for cloud agents for now.
