Build agents that run automatically

Cursor Automations introduces a powerful tool for building always-on agents that streamline various aspects of the software development lifecycle by executing tasks on schedules or in response to specific events such as Slack messages, GitHub PRs, or PagerDuty incidents. These automations enhance productivity by enabling flexible configurations, including custom webhooks, and are used for code review, security audits, incident response, and routine chores like summarizing weekly changes or ensuring test coverage. By leveraging cloud agents, teams can automate repetitive tasks, allowing engineers to focus on more critical work, as exemplified by Rippling's use of automations for tasks like incident triage and status reporting. The ability to configure agents for continuous monitoring and improvement of the codebase allows companies like Cursor and Runlayer to operate more efficiently, akin to having a software factory that continuously optimizes production processes.
