Eco Agents, Auto Mode and CO2 counting

Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

Looking at my personal CO2 footprint - living in a PV-powered house, cycling to a PV-powered company - AI tool usage has probably the largest contribution. I am living in a country that is increasingly struck by consequences of climate change. I experience brown fields and dried rivers on a daily base. Disregarding CO2 and climate change would be a long-term suicide for all of us.

In Cursor AI IDE, i get so far no idea, which AI models run from renewable energies such as solar or wind and which ones do not. I also get no idea how much CO2 each model produces on my prompts, so I can optimize my behaviour.

So there are three things that would be helpful:

  • Offer eco AI agents, that run on renewables only.

  • Count CO2 budget while working in cursor and display daily use, so user can optimize.

  • Have an “Eco” Auto option for AI agent selection optimizing for CO2 footprint.

Operating System (if it applies)

Windows 10/11
