Hey, thanks for the feature request. The idea of a separate Brainstorm mode makes sense.
For now, you can already build part of this workflow:
- Ask mode is made for discussing ideas with codebase context, it even has the placeholder Ask, learn, brainstorm. It also includes web search.
- Custom modes let you create your own Brainstorm mode with the prompt and tools you want. See Plan Mode | Cursor Docs and Overview | Cursor Docs
- Once the plan is ready, Plan mode writes it directly into
.cursor/plans/*.plan.md, so you won’t need to copy it over manually from another tool.
What we don’t have yet is a real conversational voice chat, only dictation for voice input. That’s a separate request, and there’s a similar thread here: Cursor app with voice-chat function
I’d also recommend checking this related feature request: Brainstorming Mode. You can upvote it to help signal that a dedicated mode is important.
