Hey y’all,
I was invited to beta test the new Cursor Background Agent for mobile/web.
I recorded this quick video to give you a feel for how it works.
This has allowed me to do several important things:
I can fire off a ton of small hot fixes that would've normally required me to sit down in front of my desk to deal with.
I can give the agent the task list from my AI dev workflow and ask it to knock it out while I'm sleeping.
I can ask a really smart model (o3 with MAX) to think through some big feature ideas I have and give me some feedback.
The wild thing about background agents like Cursor’s Background Agent, OpenAI’s Codex, Google’s Jules and more, is it unlocks massive parallelism in my workflow.
As a sole founder I can complete features, think through ideas, and squash bugs in one-tenth of the time.
I’m now shipping ~1 PR daily using the new Cursor mobile Background Agent.
