Devin the AI agent for code has been making quite a splash: https://twitter.com/mckaywrigley/status/1767985840448516343 Curious if the cursor team could comment regarding their thoughts on the future of AI assisted dev/ autonomous dev and what that means for cursor.

don’t worry, cursorbot is coming: Cursorbot: commit a PR from a GH issue
edit:
more seriously - i actually don’t think cursor is all that far away from creating an experience like Devin. they just need to “connect the dots”, cursor already has most of the necessary pieces in place:
- AI that writes code well
- bash/shell mode
- debugging based on errors
what’s missing seems pretty trivial if cursor wanted to put their focus on this:
- connect the “chat” context to the “terminal” context; Give terminal AI the context from the current chat
- find a way to connect to git/github (Cursorbot: commit a PR from a GH issue)
- an “agentic loop”, with some dials for human steering/intervening

Agreed
Nice one, yeah well put.
By the way did you sign up for Devin here?
https://www.cognition-labs.com/
Then filling the form: Request Access to Devin
I’m not sure if I should go ahead, is it a marketing thing with the email, filing your info and stuff.
