Triggers include GitHub pull requests, Slack messages, Linear issues, PagerDuty incidents, timers, and MCP server connections. Agents run in cloud sandboxes, can learn from previous runs, and sessions are recorded as video for review. Use cases include automated code reviews, security audits, incident triage, daily test coverage checks, and weekly Slack digests. Sessions can run up to 10 hours. Cursor reports running hundreds of automations per hour, and its annual revenue has reportedly doubled to over $2 billion in the past three months. ## Content Cursor has launched Automations, a feature that lets AI coding agents run continuously in the background - triggered by real-world events or schedules rather than a developer sitting down to prompt them. The idea is a shift in how engineers interact with AI tools. Instead of initiating every task yourself, you define the triggers and let agents handle the rest. You get pulled in when something needs your attention, not to kick things off. ## What triggers an automation Agents can be triggered by: - GitHub pull requests - Slack messages - Linear issues - PagerDuty incidents - Timers and schedules - Any MCP server connection Once triggered, agents spin up in cloud sandboxes, use Model Context Protocol connections, and can learn from previous runs. ## What people are actually using it for Cursor's own Bugbot - which launched with Cursor 1.0 - is the foundational example: it runs a code review on every pull request automatically. Other use cases include: - Security audits on every push to main - Incident triage triggered by PagerDuty alerts - Daily test coverage checks - Dead code cleanup - Weekly Slack digests summarizing repository changes Lee Robinson mentioned his team now has dozens of agents running 24/7 monitoring and improving things, and that he gets a daily morning summary of his GitHub and Slack activity. Cursor says it's already running hundreds of automations per hour. ## Long-running sessions with recorded proof of work Agents can run for extended periods - 3, 5, or 10 hours - with sessions recorded as video so you can review exactly what was done. The pitch is straightforward: set something running overnight, check the results in the morning. ## Context The launch comes as competition from OpenAI and Anthropic intensifies in the agentic coding space. Cursor's annual revenue has reportedly doubled to over $2 billion in the past three months. Jensen Huang has called Cursor his favorite enterprise AI service, with all 40,000 Nvidia engineers now using it. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Automations · Cursor](https://daily.dev/posts/automations-cursor-9ozodzzdp) · Cursor · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#productivity](https://daily.dev/tags/productivity) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/efficiently-delegate-tasks-with-cursor-s-parallel-ai-agents-gusjiggvw) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Efficiently Delegate Tasks with Cursor's Parallel AI Agents","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/efficiently-delegate-tasks-with-cursor-s-parallel-ai-agents-gusjiggvw","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/efficiently-delegate-tasks-with-cursor-s-parallel-ai-agents-gusjiggvw"},"datePublished":"2026-02-24T19:05:45.487Z","dateModified":"2026-03-15T06:06:20.341Z","description":"Cursor has launched Automations, a feature enabling AI coding agents to run continuously in the background triggered by real-world events or schedules....","image":"https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1915014653295697921/KmMbglaO_normal.jpg","thumbnailUrl":"https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1915014653295697921/KmMbglaO_normal.jpg","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Collections","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Collections","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--fk_6ycEi--/f_auto,q_auto/v1780996001/logos/collections?_a=BAMAMiWQ0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/collections"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/efficiently-delegate-tasks-with-cursor-s-parallel-ai-agents-gusjiggvw","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":1},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"ai-agents,productivity","timeRequired":"PT2M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Collections","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/collections"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Efficiently Delegate Tasks with Cursor's Parallel AI Agents"}]} ```
