Cursor, which gained popularity as an AI coding editor, has evolved into a web-based coding automation platform. Users can now directly control the AI coding agent through the web browser on both desktop and mobile devices, significantly enhancing work flexibility and scalability beyond the traditional IDE (Integrated Development Environment) service model.
The new web app automatically performs tasks such as feature writing or bug fixing when a request is entered in natural language using Cursor’s AI coding agent. Work statuses can be monitored in real time, and team members can check the output (diff files) through the web interface and immediately create pull requests. Integration with Slack is also possible, allowing users to call the agent and issue commands directly from the chat window with just an “@Cursor” mention.
With its web app release, Cursor has officially entered ‘development automation.’ Moving beyond simple code recommendations, the agent autonomously performs tasks and collaborates with users. Each agent has a unique link, and others can check the progress in real time. If an issue arises during work, users can immediately continue from their IDE.
Cursor’s web app, designed with mobile users in mind, is available as a Progressive Web App (PWA). It can be easily installed on iPhones from Safari and on Android devices from Chrome, providing native app-level user experiences such as push notifications, offline record viewing, and full-screen interfaces. This completes an environment where development work can be continued anywhere, anytime.
In the corporate market, Cursor’s presence is rapidly expanding. Currently, more than half of the Fortune 500 companies have adopted and are using this platform, including big tech companies like NVIDIA, Uber, and Adobe. Cursor has surpassed $500 million in annual revenue, secured recent Series C funding of $900 million, and reached a company valuation of $9.9 billion.
The high adoption rate among enterprises is partly due to security features. Cursor has established a security framework tailored to corporate environments dealing with sensitive source codes, including SOC2 Type II certification, enforced privacy mode, and a zero data retention policy. In comparative evaluations with competitors, an average of 83% of developers chose Cursor, expressing satisfaction with increased productivity.
Anysphere, Cursor’s operating company, declared that this platform will evolve from a mere development tool to a core tool driving work automation. The company emphasized their strategy of providing ‘real-world’ agents used in actual settings, rather than AI tools stuck at the demo level.
Michael Truell, CEO of Anysphere, projected in a recent interview that by 2026, AI coding agents will replace more than 20% of software engineers’ tasks. This marks the point where AI evolves from a support role to a partner in collaboration and decision-making.
With this web app release, Cursor is enhancing practical utility and accessibility in AI coding, planning to add more collaborative features and workflow automation functionalities in the future.
