Cursor is reportedly developing a workplace AI agent that could compete with Claude Cowork and ChatGPT Work.
Cursor is reportedly developing a general-purpose workplace AI agent as it looks to expand beyond its core coding tools.
According to The Information, the agent is internally referred to as Sand and could help with tasks such as responding to emails or texts, organizing spreadsheets and handling engineering work.
Cursor has not publicly confirmed the product, and it remains unclear whether Sand will launch commercially.
The reported development comes as workplace AI agents become a more competitive category. OpenAI launched ChatGPT Work on July 9, describing it as an agent for longer, more involved tasks across connected apps and files.
Anthropic has also been expanding Claude Cowork, positioning it as a hands-on collaborator that can work across files, cloud tools and the web.
For Cursor, a broader assistant could help the company reach business users outside software development while building on its reputation in AI-powered coding.
The move would also reflect a wider shift in enterprise AI, where vendors are moving from chat-based assistants toward agents that can complete multi-step work across documents, spreadsheets, communication tools and technical systems.
Because Cursor has not confirmed the product, Sand should still be treated as a reported internal project rather than a formal launch.
