Cursor built its own GitHub. Why?

Origin is a code hosting platform from Cursor that syncs GitHub repositories and adds an agentic code review layer. It ships with two tabs: Codebase, for creating or syncing repos from GitHub, and Review, which surfaces an AI-driven workflow that only pings developers when their attention is actually needed rather than showing every diff. Teams weighing how to review AI-generated code at scale can track tools like this on daily.dev.

Not directly as a traditional competitor, but Origin does sit on top of or alongside GitHub by syncing existing repositories into Cursor's own system. The real shift is philosophical: Cursor is building a review layer that assumes AI agents write most of the code and humans just check the work, rather than competing head-on with GitHub's pull-request model. Developers deciding how much of their code pipeline to consolidate into one vendor can follow this shift on daily.dev.
