Cursor launches Build Live Apps to build and host web apps from a prompt

Nov 6, 2026
Cursor can now build, configure, and host web applications from prompts through its cloud agents.

Cursor introduced Build Live Apps, a feature that creates and publishes web applications from prompts, as detailed on its website. It is available on paid plans with cloud agents enabled. For individual users, that means at least the $30 per month Premium plan rather than the $8 Plus plan, TechRepublic noted.

A cloud agent can create the application, provision a Postgres database, configure authentication through Cursor SSO, and set up hosting. Users can work from new or existing repositories on Cursor Origin and GitHub, while GitLab support is planned.

Before publication, Cursor runs fixed and agent based security checks for issues such as credentials exposed in application files. Team administrators can review apps and secrets, add security rules, approve blocked publications, and remove published apps.

Published apps can be shared with selected people, groups, or an entire team through Cursor sign in. Individual subscribers can also make apps public.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
