Cursor adds real-time voice conversations with coding agents

Cursor shipped Voice Chat with Agents on November 6, 2026, letting developers talk to coding agents in real time across the Agents Window, IDE, web, and iOS, powered by Grok Voice.

Cursor announced on November 6, 2026 that it shipped Voice Chat with Agents, letting developers hold real-time, two-way voice conversations with their coding agents, with the agent answering out loud, according to the Voice Chat with Agents changelog entry.

What changed

Voice Chat with Agents is available across the Agents Window, IDE, web, and iOS.
Developers start a call with a waveform button that appears when an agent is idle.
The conversation can continue while the agent is actively working on a task.
Five selectable voices are offered: Ara, Eve, Leo, Rex, and Sal.
The voice feature is powered by Grok Voice.

Privacy mode and how it differs from dictation

A Privacy Mode option runs voice chat with zero data retention. Cursor draws a clear line between Voice Chat and dictation: dictation only converts speech into text input, while Voice Chat with Agents lets the agent reply out loud.

What it means for builders

Talking to a coding agent while it works, rather than only typing, pushes agentic coding toward more conversational, hands-free workflows, letting developers stay in a dialogue with their agents instead of switching back to a keyboard for every instruction.
