What's New in Cursor — Latest Updates & Release Notes

Google Workspace Plugins

Mon, 03 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Cursor can now read, write, and act across your Google Workspace.

New plugins give coding agents direct access to Gmail, Google Drive, and Calendar, so you can pull context, draft and update files, and manage your inbox and calendar without leaving Cursor.

Install plugins to connect:

Google Drive: search files and folders, open and download content, create and organize files
Gmail: search and read mail, draft and send messages, apply labels and manage threads
Google Calendar: read schedules, create and update events, find free time

Browse the new plugins in the Cursor Marketplace or install them from the Customize page in Cursor. Learn more in our docs.

Cursor, now on iPad

Wed, 29 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Cursor for iPad is now available on all paid plans.

New to both iPhone and iPad: an inbox to stay organized, and a review experience that covers the full PR. Create, review, and merge from anywhere.

Built for the bigger screen

The iPad layout is rebuilt around the extra space. Sidebar chats stay pinned so you can watch several agents run at once. Split screen keeps a review open next to a chat, and file diffs render in full.

Markup gets more room to work too. Attach a screenshot, then tap to drop a comment at a specific point, or draw directly on the image with Apple Pencil.

A full review surface

On iPhone and iPad, the review screen now covers the full PR: comments, checks, and approvals. Add or change reviewers, read comments, and prompt the agent to resolve them. The whole path from agent output to merged PR now travels with you.

Inbox

An Inbox helps you and your agents stay organized. See what's in progress, what needs your attention, and which PRs are in review.

Additional improvements for Cursor on iPhone and iPad

Bitbucket and Azure DevOps SCM support
Multi-PR sessions: when one chat creates multiple PRs, you can now open every one of them, not just the last.
Switch between teams that you belong to directly in the app

Cursor Router

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Auto mode is now powered by Cursor Router.

Cursor Router is our intelligent model router. It analyzes each request and sends it to the right model for the job. Frontier models handle work that demands them. Price-efficient models handle the rest.

Optimization modes

Select Auto, then choose how the router optimizes:

Intelligence: Frontier quality, matching the most expensive and powerful models that might be out of reach for daily use.
Balance: Strong quality, matching the frontier models that most people like to daily drive.
Cost: Good quality, reaching the highest available intelligence while optimizing token spend.

Balance and Intelligence bill at the routed model’s rate. Each mode moves you along the cost-intelligence pareto frontier.

Admin controls

Admins can enable the router per team or group, restrict which optimization modes members can use, set the default mode, and allow or block underlying models.

Cursor Router is available across desktop, web, iOS, CLI, and our SDK. It is on by default for Teams plans. Enterprise admins can enable it from the dashboard.

Learn more in our announcement and docs.

Per-request classification by task type and complexity
Optimization modes: Cost, Balance, and Intelligence
Admin controls: per-team and per-group enablement, mode restrictions, default mode, and model allow and block lists
Routed model can be displayed or hidden (hidden by default)
Soft and hard enforcement options for standardizing on Auto
Grok 4.5 required as a price-efficient routing option

Improvements to Cursor in Slack

Fri, 17 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Cursor in Slack now shares a plan before it starts, runs in multi-repo environments, and can work across channels and threads.

Interaction improvements

Cursor now responds with a plan before it begins, so you can jump in and redirect early. As it works, it updates its status so you can follow each step.

We also refined how Cursor's responses look in Slack. In-message buttons are gone, replaced by compact footer links. Tables, PRs, and artifacts now render more cleanly.

Multi-repo environment support

From Slack, Cursor can now start in a named multi-repo environment instead of a single default repository. If your frontend, backend, and shared code live in separate repos, Cursor reads your request and targets the environment that gives it access to all of them.

Mid-task, when Cursor needs a repo outside the current environment, it prompts you with a Switch repository button. Click it, choose the repo or environment, and Cursor picks up right where it left off.

Cross-channel workflows

Cursor can now read from and send messages to other Slack channels and threads. During a task, it can pull context from elsewhere in the workspace and post updates back in the original thread or the relevant channel.

Learn more in our Slack docs.
