Cursor Launches Live Apps Feature for Building and Deploying Apps Directly in the Editor

At a glance

In Cursor, you can describe an app in words, and an AI agent will build it and deploy it. Finished apps can be shared with teammates through a single link. This feature is available on paid plans.

Key points

1. 1

   The agent builds the web app and also handles the database, login functionality, and hosting setup.

2. 2

   Before an app is made public, a security check looks for exposed sensitive information such as passwords.

3. 3

   The app goes live on the internet only after it passes the check and the user clicks publish.

4. 4

   Built apps can be shared with specific people or teams, and on personal plans they can also be opened so anyone can view them.

Why it matters

Employees with little development knowledge can now build the tools they need for their work and share them with their team.
