Cursor co-founder Michael Truell launches Design Mode, a multimodal interface for editing code using voice and visual gestures

@mntruell 💯

designing in code is now as easy as: click, chat, hold shift to multi-select.

works best with Composer 2.5

Working with agents should feel like working with a colleague. You should be able “speak to” them not just with text chats, but by gesturing at a screen together, talking live, etc.

@elonmusk @mntruell Grok Agents

@mntruell Try Grok Agents

@elonmusk @mntruell Are you bullish on the $SPCX IPO @elonmusk

I know I am - cant wait for it!

@ericzakariasson can I build cursor with cursor? pt. 2

@elonmusk @mntruell What do you think about QNX

@mntruell @elonmusk 👍

@mntruell @elonmusk Moving past just typing text into a box makes the whole process feel way more natural.

@elonmusk @mntruell The xAI Cursor partnership is turning out to be amazing. Things are only accelerating!

@mntruell @elonmusk We're still using AI like it's email.

The future probably looks more like Zoom.

@elonmusk @mntruell 💯

@mntruell What version of cursor is this? Mine looks nothing like this nor does design mode work like this. 🙃

@HarshitKhemani yes

That points toward a much more natural “co-working” model for AI agents 🤝

Instead of treating agents like tools you prompt, it’s closer to a shared workspace where you can point, highlight, ask in real time, and correct instantly—almost like screen-sharing with a teammate. That would reduce friction a lot compared to back-and-forth text and make complex tasks (design, coding, planning) feel more fluid and collaborative.

The big challenge is making that interaction precise and reliable—so the agent understands gestures, context on-screen, and live conversation without misinterpreting intent.

@mntruell This is why I'd love to see a duplex voice mode in Cursor. Back and forth conversation with an orchestrator that manages agents under the hood.
