Cursor expands beyond IDE with new web app for managing AI coding agents

Anysphere, the company behind the viral AI-powered coding editor Cursor, has launched a new web application that lets developers manage a network of autonomous coding agents directly from their browser — on both desktop and mobile.

The web app is the latest in a string of updates designed to bring Cursor’s AI tools beyond its integrated development environment (IDE), making it easier for developers to delegate tasks and monitor progress.

From IDE to everywhere

Originally launched as an AI-enhanced IDE, Cursor has become popular among developers for its ability to assist with coding tasks using natural language. In recent months, however, Anysphere has been extending its reach.

  • In May, it introduced background agents — AI agents that work autonomously on coding tasks without direct supervision.

  • In June, it added a Slack integration, enabling teams to assign tasks by tagging @Cursor in Slack channels, similar to how other AI agents like Devin operate.

Now, the web app takes that one step further: users can submit natural-language requests — like fixing bugs or adding features — and track the agents’ progress in real time. Users can also view and merge completed changes into their codebase. Each agent gets a unique, shareable link so team members can monitor or collaborate easily.

Strong momentum and ambitious vision

Cursor’s expansion comes on the back of significant business growth. Last month, Anysphere announced that Cursor surpassed $500 million in annualized recurring revenue, driven by its subscription plans. The tool is reportedly used by more than half of the Fortune 500, with customers like Nvidia, Uber, and Adobe.

To capitalize on this momentum, the company recently launched a premium Pro tier at $200 per month, while retaining its $20/month plan for smaller teams. The new web app and Slack integration are available to paying customers but not to users on the free tier.

Andrew Milich, head of product engineering at Anysphere, told TechCrunch the goal is to “remove the friction” for developers who increasingly want Cursor available “in more places” and to solve “more of the problems they’re having.”

A cautious but confident approach

While several AI coding agents have entered the market, many have struggled with accuracy and reliability. Anysphere emphasizes that it avoided rushing to market with “demo-ware” — flashy but unreliable products — and focused instead on building practical tools.

CEO Michael Truell recently told Stratechery that by 2026, AI coding agents like Cursor’s could handle at least 20% of a software engineer’s workload, reflecting growing confidence in the capabilities of AI reasoning models.

With the web app, Anysphere continues its push to integrate Cursor seamlessly into developers’ workflows, aiming to make the coding process faster, smarter, and more collaborative.
