Summary

The creator updates his website's content by giving tasks to a Cursor cloud agent instead of opening an IDE. The agent runs the site in a sandbox, tests the change, and sends back a screenshot or video of the result for review.

Key points

• Give routine website content updates to a Cursor cloud agent.
• The agent runs the website in a sandboxed environment to check the change.
• It tests everything itself and returns a photo or video of the updated site.
• You can review and ship changes without opening an IDE.
