Cursor, the AI-powered code editor, says users can now build live apps inside the product and share them through a link, extending its agent-driven workflow beyond writing code to shipping working software.

From code on localhost to a live app with a shareable link
Cursor's agents can now build, provision, security-check and deploy an app from a plain description, aiming to close the gap between generated code and software other people can actually open.
How the new flow works
From a single description to a live address, in the order the product runs it
STEP 1
Describe
The user states the tool they want
→
STEP 2
Build
The agent generates the app
→
STEP 3
Provision
A database is set up for the app
→
STEP 4
Secure
Rule-based and agentic checks run
→
STEP 5
Deploy
The app goes live at a shareable link
DETERMINISTIC CHECKS
Fixed rules that produce the same result every time.
Repeatable and predictable, but limited to the problems their rules anticipate.
AGENTIC CHECKS
An AI agent examines the app for problems.
Can catch issues that fixed rules may miss, and is built into deployment rather than run as a separate step.
WHAT THIS COULD ENABLE
Shorter path from idea to a usable app
Individual developers, founders and non-engineers able to publish
Infrastructure and publishing handled in one place
CONCERNS THAT REMAIN
Reliability and security of AI-generated code
Deployment with limited human review
How thoroughly the checks can be audited
THE OPEN QUESTIONS
The key details are not yet defined. Competition will turn on how safely deployed apps perform in practice.
Pricing and plan availability
Supported languages and frameworks
Database options
Auditability of security checks
