Summary

The creator explains why he uses Cursor at work: it has an iOS app and cloud agent environments. He starts a task on his phone, lets a cloud agent run it, then hands it off to his local machine. He can also pick different models.

Key points

• Cursor has an iOS app, so you can start coding tasks from your phone.
• Cursor cloud agents run tasks in remote environments, so work keeps going while you're away from your desk.
• Workflow: start on the phone, let the cloud agent work, then hand off to local development to review and finish.
• Cursor lets you choose between different models for each task.
