Improvements to Cursor Automations

Summary

Cursor has updated its Automations feature, which runs always-on agents to handle repetitive developer tasks. The release adds the /automate skill, allowing users to define an automation inside a local agent session by describing the desired task in natural language; the system then generates the corresponding triggers, instructions, and tool permissions.

New event sources expand the range of possible triggers. Slack automations can now start when a user reacts to any message with a chosen emoji. On GitHub, five additional events are supported: comments on non-PR issues, inline review comments on pull requests, submission of a PR review, changes to the resolved state of a review thread, and completion of a GitHub Actions workflow run. Marketplace templates for triaging failed workflows and addressing PR review comments are provided to accelerate setup.

Cloud agents invoked by these automations now have access to a computer-use tool, enabled by default. When instructed to produce a demo or artifact, the agent can operate its own environment to generate and return the required output. Additional refinements allow automations to be saved in an incomplete state, open pull requests without explicit configuration, and manage memory files through the interface or agent prompts.

Why it matters

This update is highly relevant for product teams and builders as it directly enhances AI-driven development workflows. Dutch AI practitioners can leverage these new GitHub and Slack integrations to automate code reviews, triage CI/CD failures, and boost overall engineering productivity.
