[DigitalToday reporter Chi-gyu Hwang] AI coding tool Cursor has unveiled a new tool called "Automation", TechCrunch reported on March 5 (local time).
"Automation" automatically runs agents under certain conditions, such as codebase changes, Slack messages and timers. It means engineers do not have to manually manage multiple agents, and the system runs with humans stepping in only when needed.
Jonas Nele (조나스 넬레), head of asynchronous agent engineering at Cursor, said, "Humans are not completely excluded, but you do not have to initialize it all the time." He added, "It was designed so you intervene only at the moments you need to."
If the existing Bugbot system was an early stage of implementing that concept, Automation expands it to enable security audits and deep code reviews. Josh Ma (조쉬 마), engineering lead at Cursor, said, "Using more tokens to find complex problems was very effective."
