Cursor AI Updates: May 21, 2026

1. Cursor Automations land in the Agents Window with multi-repo and no-repo support plus marketplace templates

Cursor. Cursor expanded Automations to surface inside the Agents Window alongside the existing cursor.com/automations dashboard, and added multi-repo automations so a single agent can work across multiple codebases on a scheduled or event-driven trigger. The release also introduces no-repo automations for monitoring external tools and acting on non-code signals, with five marketplace templates shipping for use cases like Slack digests and financial reporting, plus a 50% discount on newly created automation runs for the first seven days. The change rounds out Cursor’s pivot from an in-IDE pair programmer to a background agent runtime that can operate against the IDE, multiple repos, and external systems from the same control surface.
