Agents / Cursor
Cursor cloud-agent canvases
Cursor added interactive canvases from cloud agents and a beta API for managing their environments.
Why it matters
The execution environment and reviewable output can matter as much as the coding model.
What to try
Use a small isolated repository, request a demonstrable change, and inspect both the result and the diff.
Access to check
Cloud-agent access and environment options depend on the product and plan.
Agents / OpenAI
Dots
Always-on agents that keep working across connected tools and bring back results or decisions for review.
Why it matters
Useful to understand as an ongoing responsibility rather than a single chat response.
What to try
Start with one bounded responsibility, such as drafting a project-status brief, and review the output before widening access.
Access to check
Gradual rollout with plan, region, and workspace requirements. Check official access details.
Agents / Meta
Muse
A personal agent with a dedicated virtual computer and browser, designed to work across everyday tasks and longer-term goals.
Why it matters
Compare the workflow, permissions, and review controls—not just the conversational style.
What to try
Evaluate one low-stakes planning task and inspect what the agent proposes before allowing actions.
Access to check
Check Meta’s announcement and current product access. We have not independently tested it.
A useful first experiment
Give an agent one bounded task with non-sensitive sample material. Ask for a draft, inspect the evidence, and note mistakes before expanding its responsibility. These entries summarize documentation; they are not hands-on reviews or a measured popularity ranking.
