Cursor teases Origin git hosting, but waitlist email rule irks

Cursor has just rolled out Origin, bringing new code storage and git hosting aimed at teams and AI agents. It’s slated for this fall.

TL;DR

  • Origin launch: Cursor introducing code storage and git hosting for teams and agents to host, review, and collaborate
  • Availability: Planned this fall; access currently via waitlist
  • Signup requirement: Waitlist form requests email and specifies work email; blocks Gmail/public domains

Cursor posted on X that it is "launching code storage and git hosting" with a product called Origin, which it describes as giving teams and agents a place to "host, review, and collaborate on code." The company added that Origin will be "available this fall" and directed interested users to a waitlist.

The signup flow featured in Cursor’s accompanying visuals centers on "Join the waitlist," an email field, and a notice that reads, "Please use your work email." That requirement quickly became a point of friction in replies, with several users objecting to the block on Gmail and other public email domains.
