Cursor launches /automate for custom workflows

Cursor has launched /automate, a tool that configures custom workflows and task automations from natural language descriptions. The update also adds computer use for cloud agents alongside new GitHub and Slack triggers.

// ANALYSIS

By integrating event triggers from GitHub and Slack with natural language configuration and cloud computer use, Cursor is transforming from a code assistant into a full-fledged agentic workflow platform.

* Natural Language Workflows: Allows developers to bootstrap automations without writing complex boilerplate code or configuring API integration tools.

* Deep Developer Ecosystem Integration: Triggers from GitHub (issues, PR reviews, workflow runs) and Slack bring AI agent actions directly to where teams collaborate.

* Cloud Agent Advancements: Support for computer use by cloud agents enables Cursor to perform multi-step, GUI-driven actions to fulfill complex developer tasks.
