Cursor adds realtime voice calls with agents

Cursor says you can now talk with your agents in a realtime voice call: describe a change out loud, ask what an agent is working on, and hear updates as the work moves forward. Voice chat works in the Agents Window, the IDE, on web and in Cursor for iOS.

To start a call, click the waveform "Start voice chat" button, which appears when the agent is idle and the chat input is empty. On iOS you can also say "Hey Siri, call Cursor" to start a call with a new agent, and mute or hang up from the Lock Screen through a Live Activity.

A voice agent listens, replies and hands coding work to the agent in your chat. While that agent runs, you can ask what changed in a diff, check on a run, search earlier messages and calls, or switch between workers in a Project. The coding agent also speaks short progress notes and a brief answer when it finishes.

Cursor says voice chat runs on Grok Voice, with a choice of voices in settings (Ara, Eve, Leo, Rex and Sal among them), and that with Privacy Mode on it runs with zero data retention. It is separate from dictation, which earlier releases called Voice Mode and which still turns speech into text in the chat input.
