Cursor launches real-time voice calls with agents
Understand this story
Cursor has introduced real-time voice calls with agents: users can verbally describe what they want changed, ask what the agent is doing, and hear progress updates as the task advances. The feature covers the Agents Window, the IDE, the web, and Cursor for iOS, is powered by Grok Voice, and offers multiple voices including Ara, Eve, Leo, Rex, and Sal. Cursor says that when Privacy Mode is enabled, voice calls have zero data retention. On iOS, users can also start a call with a new agent via "Hey Siri, call Cursor" and mute or hang up from the Lock Screen via Live Activities. Voice calls and dictation are two separate features; dictation is still responsible for converting speech into text in the chat input box.

Cursor now supports realtime voice calls with agents in the Agents Window, the IDE, on web, and in Cursor for iOS, letting you describe changes out loud, ask what an agent is working on, and hear updates as work progresses. Voice chat runs on Grok Voice with selectable voices including Ara, Eve, Leo, Rex, and Sal, and uses zero data retention when Privacy Mode is on. It is separate from dictation, which still converts speech to text in the chat input and toggles with Cmd+Shift+Space in the IDE.
