Cursor Automations: Building Always-On Engineering Agents
from Intellectually Curious · host Mike Breault
A look at Cursor's Automations—the AI-powered agents that run in the background to manage your code pipeline. We explain how triggers start work, the secure cloud sandbox, how agents verify output, blast-radius-based safety, and guardrails that auto-approve only low-risk changes while routing risky ones to human reviewers. We also cover incident response with PagerDuty, real-world wins like Rippling's automated personal assistant, and why this points to a software factory where humans can focus on high-level creative work.Note: This podcast was AI-generated, and sometimes AI can make mistakes.
