This video demonstrates an advanced workflow for using Cursor 2.0 to build applications more efficiently. The presenter highlights six key features and techniques, including leveraging multiple model runs for UI design, utilizing the integrated browser for real-time development and debugging, employing instant code review by AI agents, accessing a hidden mobile app for on-the-go coding, and utilizing cloud agents for asynchronous tasks. The goal is to transform users into "Cursor 2.0 masters" by improving their productivity.
/review command within an agent provides an AI-powered code review for security, efficiency, and general improvements. This is a simple yet effective way to maintain code quality and reduce technical debt.Running a prompt multiple times simultaneously in Cursor 2.0 is beneficial for UI development because it allows you to generate multiple variations of a user interface based on a single prompt. This provides a selection of different UI designs, increasing the likelihood of obtaining a visually appealing and functional outcome, rather than settling for a less desirable default generated by AI. The presenter specifically notes that this approach is most effective for front-end code, as AI can sometimes struggle with aesthetic choices.
The "select element" feature in Cursor 2.0's integrated browser allows you to precisely target specific UI components within your running application. When you click this button and then highlight an element (like a button or a to-do list section) in the browser view, that element is automatically added to your chat with the AI agent. This is incredibly useful for debugging because you can directly tell the AI which specific part of your application is broken, rather than having to describe it generally or copy-paste large chunks of code or console logs. The AI can then focus its efforts on fixing the identified element or functionality.
To access and install the hidden Cursor mobile app on an iPhone:
cursor.com.This will place a Cursor app icon on your iPhone's home screen, allowing you to use it as a dedicated mobile application.
The primary benefit of using cloud agents in Cursor 2.0 is that they perform tasks in the cloud, not on your local machine. This means you can initiate many processes simultaneously and then pull them down to your local environment for review and integration later.
Cloud agents can be leveraged for tasks beyond coding by instructing them to perform research (e.g., for marketing), generate roadmaps, or write content like announcement blog posts. Essentially, they can act as remote workers executing various tasks that can be initiated from anywhere, including via the mobile app, and then seamlessly integrated into your local development workflow.
