In an era where artificial intelligence is transforming how developers work, Cursor has taken a bold leap forward. Known for its powerful AI coding assistant integrated into a developer-friendly IDE, Cursor has now launched a web-based application that allows developers to manage autonomous AI coding agents – from anywhere.

This review dives deep into the latest Cursor web app and what it means for software developers, teams, and enterprises seeking to streamline their development workflow using AI.

What is Cursor?

Cursor, created by the team at Anysphere, is a next-generation AI IDE powered by OpenAI and other large language models. It’s designed to understand natural language prompts, generate and refactor code, and now—thanks to the web app—autonomously manage tasks like debugging, writing features, and even suggesting architecture improvements.

With Cursor, developers can focus on high-level problem-solving while offloading routine tasks to intelligent agents.

What’s New in the Cursor Web App?

1. Agent Management from Any Device

The Cursor web app introduces a clean, intuitive browser interface that allows users to:

• Assign tasks to AI Coding Agents

• Track their progress in real-time

• Merge finished code

• Intervene when needed by jumping into the Cursor IDE

This makes it perfect for developers on the move, project managers overseeing multiple tasks, or remote teams.

2. Background Agents Now in Your Browser

Cursor’s background agents—introduced earlier—are now accessible directly from the web. These agents run continuously in the background, managing assigned tasks without human supervision. Whether it’s fixing bugs or refactoring files, they operate autonomously and efficiently.

3. Slack Integration for Even Smoother Workflow

By tagging @Cursor in Slack, team members can launch agents, assign tasks, and even track updates—all within Slack. This bridges the gap between communication and execution, helping teams stay aligned and agile.

Pricing Tiers – What Do You Get?

Cursor is no longer just for IDE users. Here’s a quick look at the new pricing tiers:

⚠️ Note: The web app is only available to paid users.

Real-World Use Cases

Startups & Agile Teams

Developers can assign tasks like “add authentication flow” or “optimize the database model” to an agent and monitor completion while they focus on customer features or meetings.

Large Enterprises

With clients like Nvidia, Uber, and Adobe, Cursor is already being used by half of the Fortune 500. Teams can automate bug fixing, refactoring, and even feature generation at scale.

Freelancers and Solo Devs

Individual developers benefit from having a “second brain” that works alongside them—even when they’re offline or switching devices.

Performance Review: Is It Worth It?

Pros:

• Intuitive UI on web and mobile

• Real-time agent tracking

• Multi-platform access (browser, Slack, IDE)

• Saves time on repetitive coding tasks

• Seamless integration with existing workflows

Cons:

• Requires a paid plan for access

• Occasional agent “confusion” on complex tasks

• Still evolving – not ideal for fully replacing senior devs

Our Verdict

Cursor’s web app is a significant milestone in the AI coding space. It takes the power of LLM-based agents and places them into a clean, centralized, accessible web interface—perfect for modern development environments.

If you’re a developer, engineering lead, or even a CTO looking to boost productivity and scale development intelligently, Cursor’s web app is worth the investment. It’s not just a tool—it’s a revolution in how coding work is distributed and delivered.
