Introduction to Cursor & Cursor Agents

Cursor builds on the editor you already know and adds AI features for inline edits, chat, and longer-running Agent tasks that can read files, run commands, and propose changes across a project.

This session is a practical orientation—not a feature dump—so you can decide how Cursor fits your day-to-day work.

What we will cover

• Cursor as an IDE: Projects, the command palette, and how AI features sit next to normal editing
• From prompts to patches: Inline suggestions, chat, and when to reach for multi-file edits
• Agent mode in context: How agents differ from one-shot completions, and patterns for safe, reviewable workflows
• Team habits: Rules, docs in-repo, and keeping humans in the loop

Format

• 1-hour live session
• Host: Rodrigo Rivera
• Demos plus Q&A at the end

Who should join

Developers and product engineers who have heard of Cursor but want a clear mental model—especially how Agent work differs from quick inline help—before adopting it on a real codebase.
