Cursor Launches Build Live Apps to Ship Web Apps from a Prompt

Cursor's new Build Live Apps feature lets a cloud agent turn a plain-language description into a hosted web app with a database, login and shareable link.

Cursor has launched Build Live Apps, a feature that lets users create web applications by describing their idea in natural language. A cloud agent then sets up the database, sign-in system and hosting, and produces a link that can be shared, so users no longer have to handle every step of coding and deployment by hand.

According to the announcement in Cursor's changelog, a user starts a cloud coding agent and asks it to build an app. The agent creates the project and configures its technical components, including a Postgres database when the app needs one. It then prepares the app for release once it passes security checks and the user approves.

From description to live link

The process begins with a description of what the app should do, such as a sales-tracking dashboard or a registration system for event attendees. The agent turns that into a web project and adds a database and login mechanisms if required.

Users can build a new app or work on an existing code repository, choose a web address for it, and share the result with specific people or teams. Cursor says enterprises can use the tools to create dashboards, service portals and internal tracking systems.

Security checks before publishing

Cursor does not publish an app automatically once the code is finished. The platform scans for security problems, such as passwords or credentials left inside project files, and lists the errors that must be fixed before deployment can be completed.

Team administrators keep the ability to review apps, manage secrets and stop deployments. Access to an app can be restricted to Cursor accounts, while individual plans allow publishing to the general public.

The feature is available to subscribers on paid plans that support cloud agents. The launch extends the use of AI agents beyond writing code and into hosting and release, an area that has traditionally required separate tools and expertise.
