Episode notes
Cursor Adds Scheduled Agent Automations
- Cursor Automations lets developer agents run scheduled and trigger-based tasks to maintain code and create PRs automatically.
- Jack and John demoed use cases like incident triage from PagerDuty and nightly PR cleanups that return likely root causes or fix dead code.
Agent Handles 3AM Incident Triage
- John described an incident triage automation that runs when a PagerDuty monitor fires and returns a likely root cause before he fully wakes up.
- The agent queries Datadog, creates a PR or findings, and lets John merge and go back to sleep.
Developer Uses Nightly PR Cleanup Agent
- Jack shared a personal automation that runs nightly to scan his PRs and clean up dead code or bad patterns.
- The agent opens PRs asynchronously and can follow prompts to format comments how you prefer on GitHub.
