- Cursor is building a general-purpose AI agent codenamed "Sand," with sources saying it is aimed at non-developers rather than the developer audience Cursor is best known for serving.
- The Sand agent handles emails, texts, and documents and is positioned as a direct rival to Anthropic's Claude Cowork in general productivity work.
Why it matters: Per sources, Cursor's Sand agent handles emails, texts, and documents specifically for non-developers — putting it in head-to-head competition with Anthropic's Claude Cowork for the general-productivity user base in a deliberate expansion beyond coding tools.
