Cursor Cloud Agents (also known as Background Agents) are fully autonomous coding agents from Anysphere that spin up isolated Ubuntu VMs to execute software engineering tasks asynchronously. They can be triggered directly from Slack, GitHub, Linear, or the Cursor IDE, allowing developers to delegate tasks without being at their machine. The agent handles the full dev loop — writing code, running tests, and opening pull requests — then hands back control when complete.
codingCursor is an AI-first code editor built as a fork of VS Code by Anysphere, designed to supercharge developer productivity with deep AI integration across the entire coding workflow. It features multi-file agentic editing, intelligent autocomplete, codebase-aware chat, and as of Cursor 2.0, supports up to 8 parallel agents running in isolated git worktrees. With over 1 million users and 360,000+ paying customers as of 2026, it has become one of the dominant AI coding environments and a major competitive threat to traditional editors.
