Summary

The creator started using Cursor Cloud Agents because his Mac was getting slow. The agents run in a remote environment that sets itself up automatically. The agent keeps working through issues by itself, so the heavy work is not on your local machine.

Key points

• Cursor Cloud Agents launched in February.
• They run in a remote environment, which helps when your local machine is slow.
• The remote environment sets itself up automatically.
• The agent works through problems on its own until the task is done.
