Cursor agents can take a voice call

Cursor's changelog for 6 November 2026 adds a realtime voice call with an agent. You can describe a change out loud, ask what the agent is working on, and hear updates as the work moves. Voice chat works in the Agents Window, the IDE, on the web, and in Cursor for iOS.

When the agent is idle and the chat input is empty, the waveform button labeled Start voice chat sits where Send usually is, next to the microphone button for dictation. On iOS you can also say "Hey Siri, call Cursor" to start a call with a new agent, and mute or hang up from the Lock Screen with a Live Activity.

The voice agent listens, replies, and hands coding work to the agent in the chat. While that agent runs, you can keep talking: ask what changed in a diff, check on a run, search earlier messages and calls with this agent, or switch between workers in a Project that has them. The coding agent shares short progress notes while it works and a brief answer when it is done.

Cursor says voice chat runs on Grok Voice. Voice settings include Ara, Eve, Leo, Rex, and Sal. With Privacy Mode on, voice chat runs with zero data retention. Voice chat is separate from dictation, which earlier releases called Voice Mode. Dictation still turns speech into text in the chat input, and Cmd+Shift+Space still toggles it in the IDE. The changelog says to update Cursor to try voice chat. It does not name a plan or a price.

Who it's for: someone already working with a Cursor agent who wants to talk through a change instead of typing the whole prompt.

Fits: Best for Vibe Coding stays Cursor, for an edit you can reject in the project. A voice call is another way to drive that same agent. The coding guide and the Cursor alternatives are unchanged. The verdict is unchanged.
