Describe the request
Problem
To know how much time I spent waiting for the AI agent to finish. Based on that I will optimize the choice of model, the choice and size of tasks to give to AI and not do myself.
The question of how much time does the AI agent spend and how much time it potentially saves is of paramount importance. So Cursor IDE must have the tools to help dev-s answer that question more accurately.
What I currently do
I go to Cursor - The AI Code Editor and use the DATE column and current time to calculate in my head how much time the agent spent replying, but that is not reliable, because I sometimes forget to check immediately after it finishes.
Solution (MVP)
Add timer next to the token counter to show how many minutes and seconds the AI response took.
Additional features
- Another timer to measure the total time spent since the beginning of the conversation including the dev’s work, not only the agent’s work.
- API cost
- Options in settings to show/hide all those (nerd) stats as a bundle, maybe hidden by default.
