Strengths
  • Same runtime as the Cursor IDE — no reinventing sandboxing, context management, or model routing
  • Three execution modes: local machine, Cursor cloud VMs (isolated per-agent), or self-hosted workers for air-gapped teams
  • Cloud agents are durable — keep running even if your laptop sleeps or connection drops, and can open PRs automatically on finish
  • Full harness included: codebase indexing, MCP servers, skills, hooks, and multi-agent delegation via subagents
  • Visible in Cursor's Agents Window — programmatic runs can be inspected or taken over manually in the IDE
  • Pull live data from Stripe, Slack, Google Analytics, etc.
  • AI functions inside cells
  • Modern UX
  • Included with Gemini Advanced
  • YouTube Shorts native integration
  • Strong prompt understanding
  • Trained on licensed content — commercially safe
  • Generative Fill in Photoshop is incredible
  • Native to Adobe ecosystem
Weaknesses
  • TypeScript-only SDK — no official Python or other language bindings at launch
  • Public beta status means API surface and pricing can shift without much notice (Cursor has a track record of surprise pricing changes)
  • Cloud VM costs layer on top of subscription credits, making cost estimation non-trivial at scale
  • Not a full Excel replacement for heavy users
  • Integrations best on paid tiers
  • Still catching up on quality vs Kling/Runway
  • Less control than pros need
  • Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney
  • Tied to Adobe subscription
Kai's verdictIf your team is already in the Cursor ecosystem, this is a genuinely compelling way to turn ad-hoc AI coding sessions into durable, automated workflows — but the beta label and Cursor's history with opaque pricing mean you'll want to set hard budget guardrails before going to production. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.)A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards.A-tier if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone.S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.
