New in Cursor! · Full changelog · Main announcement
We’re excited to introduce /multitask, a new way for Cursor to parallelize agent work with async subagents!
Use /multitask in the Agents Window to have Cursor run async subagents instead of adding each request to the queue. Cursor can also break larger tasks into smaller chunks and assign them to multiple subagents at the same time.
If you already have queued messages, you can ask Cursor to multitask on them instead of waiting for the current run to finish.
/multitask is useful for:
- Running several independent requests at once
- Speeding up larger tasks that can be split into smaller pieces
- Keeping agent work moving while a current run is still in progress
We’d love your feedback!
- What kinds of queued tasks are you using
/multitaskfor? - How well does Cursor split larger tasks into useful subagent work?
- What would make multitasking easier to control or understand?
If you’ve found a bug, please post it in Bug Reports instead, so we can track and address it properly, but also feel free to drop a link to it in this thread for visibility.
