Cursor Glass introduces a unified interface for managing agents, repositories, and cloud tasks in one place. With Cloud Handoff, agents can seamlessly switch between local machines and cloud environments mid-task, eliminating workflow breaks. Powered by Composer 2, it delivers strong coding performance at lower cost. Built for engineers running parallel agents, Glass reduces context-switching and brings real visibility.

Could you build this?
No Cursor Glass provides stateful mid-task handoff between local environments and cloud containerized sandboxes for AI coding agents, requiring complex distributed systems and virtualization infra.
What it would actually take: A real implementation requires an orchestrated fleet of lightweight, fast-booting cloud microVMs (e.g., Firecracker or custom container runtimes) integrated with a VS Code / Electron fork. The hardest engineering feat is 'Cloud Handoff': snapshotting the entire active development context—including agent memory state, file diffs, active process trees, and git working tree—and resuming it deterministically in the cloud without latency. This demands deep systems programming in Rust/Go, kernel-level virtualization knowledge, and advanced client-server state synchronization.
