This release introduces multitasking via async subagents using the /multitask command, allowing parallel processing of requests. It also adds improved worktrees support in the Agents Window for running isolated tasks across different branches, and introduces multi-root workspaces enabling a single agent session to make cross-repo changes spanning frontend, backend, and shared libraries.
Cursor introduced multitasking with async subagents via /multitask command to parallelize requests, improved worktrees experience in the Agents Window for running isolated tasks across branches, and multi-root workspace support allowing a single agent session to target multiple folders for cross-repo changes.
Cursor 3.1 introduces interactive Canvases that allow the AI to respond with visualizations including dashboards and custom interfaces. The Agents Window received a tiled layout for running multiple agents in parallel, and voice input was upgraded with batch STT for higher-quality speech-to-text transcription.
Bugbot can now learn from feedback on pull requests and turn those signals into learned rules that improve future reviews, achieving a 78% resolution rate. MCP server support was added for additional context during code reviews on Teams and Enterprise plans. Additional improvements include a 'Fix All' action, redesigned settings, and improved Bugbot Autofix reliability.
Cursor added 30+ new plugins from partners like Atlassian, Datadog, GitLab, and Hugging Face, enabling cloud agents to read, write, and take actions across more of the user's stack.
