Cursor launched Projects on September 10, adding a persistent workspace for software work that can span features, migrations or entire applications. Projects is in beta and is rolling out to users.
A Project is managed by a coordinator agent. The coordinator plans and delegates work rather than writing the code itself, creating implementation agents as needed and returning completed work for review. Cursor says Projects can maintain context over months and delegate to large numbers of subagents.
Each Project runs on its own cloud computer, so work does not stop when the user's laptop closes. Shared context files synchronize across the cloud and local machines used by agents, allowing research, artifacts and codebase-specific operating knowledge to accumulate inside the Project.
Projects also supports subscriptions that can react to signals such as Slack messages, schedules and pull requests without a fresh prompt. That moves Cursor's agent model from isolated coding sessions toward persistent work orchestration.
The scale and productivity claims come from Cursor and should not be read as independently benchmarked performance. Independent coverage confirms the beta launch, coordinator/subagent architecture and cloud-backed persistence, but does not independently validate how many parallel agents are useful on real production projects.
