Cursor 2.0 proves agents are here to stay (www.augmentedswe.com)

Cursor 2.0 is live, and its feature set signals that autonomous developer agents are moving from experiments to mainstream tooling. The update bundles an agent-focused UI, a Composer for custom models, support for running parallel agents, and — critically — browser access for agents. For developers who liked Cursor’s in-IDE workflow (no copy/paste to external chat), these changes restore and extend that promise: agents can be orchestrated more naturally, tailored to team needs via custom models, and fetch live web resources without breaking the dev flow. Those technical shifts matter. An agent-focused UI and parallel agents enable multitasking workflows (e.g., concurrent linting, code search, and PR generation), while Composer gives teams a way to configure or specialize models to project conventions and security requirements. Browser-enabled agents open up live data retrieval and dependency checks but also raise security and data-governance considerations for enterprises. Overall, Cursor 2.0 reinforces that agent architectures — modular, concurrent, web-aware — are becoming core to next-gen developer tooling, nudging rivals and companies to build around agents rather than single-turn assistants.
