Build agents that run automatically

Summary
Introduced Cursor Automations, a system for building always-on agents triggered by schedules or events (Slack, Linear, GitHub PRs, PagerDuty, webhooks). These agents run in cloud sandboxes, use MCPs and models, and have memory for learning. Specific use cases include automated security reviews on pushes to main, agentic codeowners for risk classification and reviewer assignment, and incident response agents that investigate logs and propose fixes. Chore automations include weekly summaries of changes, test coverage analysis, and bug report triage. The post also highlights external use cases at Rippling and mentions the underlying cloud agent infrastructure.
