Hey 👋

Cursor just launched version 2.0 with a new coding model designed for multi-agent workflows. Until now, Cursor relied on the big AI labs — OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google — to power its product. Building their own model is a major step that could turn Cursor from a client of the labs into a competitor. Early users report that it is fast and affordable, though not yet as "smart" as the leading models.

But the bigger shift might be happening outside traditional developer tools. Microsoft 365 Copilot now lets users build apps and automate AI workflows using natural language. You describe what you need, and Copilot creates it without requiring any coding knowledge. And Microsoft is not alone in bringing powerful vibe coding tools to a broader audience. A few weeks ago, Google introduced new vibe coding capabilities in Google Studio and is developing several app and agent tools integrated directly into Google Workspace.

We believe 2026 will be the turning point where everyone in an organization can build custom apps connected to company data in a secure way, tailored to their specific use cases. If the interface is simple enough and the apps connect to existing business systems, we will see a wave of employees solving problems that previously required developers and large IT teams.

But that was not the only AI news this week. Let us jump in 🏄‍♂️

Beginner’s Guide to Claude Code

Claude Code might be the most underrated AI tool right now. It turns Claude into a real agent that can work with your files, build automations, and solve complex problems. It is not only for developers. Anyone can use it to automate workflows, process data, and manage projects directly from the terminal or IDE.

AI Pulse 🚨

A bite-sized curation of this week's most important AI news.

🛠️ Cursor 2.0 introduces Composer and multi-agent interface
​Cursor 2.0 launched with Composer, a new coding model that delivers faster and more accurate code generation. The release includes a redesigned interface built for managing multiple AI agents working simultaneously on different project aspects.

🛠️ Cursor launches Cloud Agents for remote task execution
​Cursor introduced Cloud Agents, allowing developers to run AI-powered coding tasks remotely without keeping laptops online. Users can assign bug fixes, todos, and feature development to agents that run independently in the cloud.

🛠️ Microsoft 365 Copilot now builds apps and workflows
​Microsoft 365 Copilot launched App Builder and Workflows, allowing users to create full-stack applications and automate business processes using only natural language prompts. Users can describe the app they need—such as a project tracker with dashboards—and Copilot generates a working application complete with database backend, UI, and security controls.

🤖 GitHub launches Agent HQ for seamless AI agent integration
​GitHub introduced Agent HQ, a platform designed to integrate AI agents directly into development workflows. The system enables developers to use any AI agent within GitHub’s ecosystem, creating a unified environment for agent-powered development.

🤖 OpenAI introduces Aardvark, an AI security researcher agent
​OpenAI launched Aardvark in private beta, an autonomous AI agent designed to identify and fix software vulnerabilities. The system can conduct security research without human supervision, scanning code for weaknesses and suggesting fixes.

🛒 PayPal becomes first payment wallet in ChatGPT
​PayPal integrated its digital wallet directly into ChatGPT, allowing users to purchase items without leaving the AI chat interface. This makes PayPal the first payment processor embedded in a conversational AI platform, marking a shift in how e-commerce might function.

💼 Claude expands financial services offering with Excel integration
​Anthropic expands Claude for Financial Services, featuring an Excel add-in, real-time market data connectors, and pre-built Agent Skills for financial tasks.s

🚀 OpenAI adds reusable characters and video stitching to Sora
​OpenAI updated Sora with the ability to create reusable avatars for AI-generated videos, plus new video stitching and leaderboard features. Users can now maintain character consistency across multiple video generations, a major limitation in previous text-to-video models.

💰 Nvidia reaches $5 trillion valuation on AI demand
​Nvidia became the first company to achieve a $5 trillion market valuation, driven by surging demand for AI chips and infrastructure. The milestone reflects massive capital flowing into AI development, with Nvidia’s GPUs serving as essential infrastructure for training and running large language models.

🔍 Perplexity launches Patents for AI-powered patent search
​Perplexity introduced Perplexity Patents, an AI-powered search tool that makes patent databases accessible and easy to query. Users can search for patents using natural language instead of complex boolean queries and legal terminology.

🔧 Google launches Jules extension for Gemini CLI
​Google introduced the Jules extension for Gemini CLI, enabling developers to manage coding tasks asynchronously through the command line. The extension allows developers to assign work to Gemini agents and check back later for results, similar to Cursor’s Cloud Agents.

🚀 Cognition releases SWE-1.5 with 13x speed improvement
​Cognition launched SWE-1.5, a fast agent model for software engineering that achieves near state-of-the-art performance while running 13 times faster than previous versions. The model is designed for autonomous software engineering tasks like debugging, feature development, and code refactoring.

🛠️ OpenAI releases gpt-oss-safeguard for content moderation
​OpenAI launched gpt-oss-safeguard, open-weight models for safety classification tasks that allow developers to customize content moderation policies. Unlike closed models, developers can fine-tune these models for specific use cases and deploy them on their own infrastructure.
