Cursor posted on X on Friday introducing “/multitask” in the new Cursor 3 interface, a feature the company says lets the app run “async subagents” in parallel instead of adding requests to a queue. Cursor also said already queued messages can be shifted into multitask mode before the current run finishes.
The company separately pointed to updated worktrees in the agents window, describing them as a way to run isolated background tasks across different branches and then move a branch into the local foreground with one click. Cursor also mentioned multi-root workspaces for cross-repo changes, saying a single agent session can now target a reusable workspace made up of multiple folders. The post directed users to download Cursor 3.2 to try the new agents-window features.
Reactions on X were largely positive, with several users calling the update a major unlock and praising the cross-repo workflow. Others raised practical questions about how Cursor handles task dependencies, what happens when two agents edit the same file, whether the new interface should expose a file explorer more clearly, and whether the features work with BYOK models. One commenter also reported that starting agents caused the window to hang.
