Cursor Adds Real-Time Voice Chat With Its AI Coding Agents

At a glance

Cursor, the coding tool, now lets you hold real-time voice calls with AI agents (AI that splits up work and handles it on its own). You can ask for code changes out loud and hear how the work is progressing. It works in the agent panel, the development environment, the web, and the iOS app.

Key points

1. 1

   If the chat input is empty and the agent is idle, press the voice chat button to start a call.

2. 2

   On iOS, you can open a call by saying "Hey Siri, call Cursor." You can also mute or end the call from the lock screen.

3. 3

   The conversation continues while the agent is working, so you can ask it to check changes or report on progress.

4. 4

   You can choose from several voice options. With privacy mode turned on, the feature works without storing your data.

Why it matters

You can hand development tasks to AI by voice and hear updates, so working with AI may change without typing out every request.
