Cursor 1.2 Adds Smarter Agent Tools, Faster Completions, and Slack Upgrades
Cursor's latest release packs in structured planning for agents, improved PR navigation, faster completions, and upgraded Slack integration. It's a productivity push targeting developers working on long-horizon coding tasks and collaborative workflows.
Cursor 1.2 introduces structured to-do lists that let its agent plan actions more clearly. Developers can now queue up multiple instructions, letting the agent process them in sequence. The new version also makes the Memories feature generally available, which allows the agent to recall past interactions to handle longer, context-aware tasks. On the performance front, Cursor has reduced time-to-first-token by 30%, speeding up completions significantly. The update deepens Cursor’s capabilities with pull requests. The agent can now index PRs and perform semantic searches, making code review and navigation more efficient. It also gained the ability to attempt resolving merge conflicts. These tools aim to streamline collaborative development, especially in fast-moving repositories. Additionally, improvements to the background agent and Slack integration allow for more seamless interaction between communication and coding environments. Cursor 1.2 solidifies its position as a developer-first AI tool that blends code context, memory, and chat workflows. Rather than just boosting individual productivity, the release shows a shift toward enabling intelligent multi-step coding collaboration within real-world team setups.
