How the agent did it
- During an app demo, the poster’s wife asked for a way to create a new list from unchecked items.
- The poster gave Cursor agent the request and a screenshot with an arrow showing the button position.
- The poster reports a commit on main a “couple of minutes later” and the app being up 5s later.
During a demo of his app to his wife, the poster received a concrete feature request: create a new list from the items that remained unchecked. He gave that request to Cursor agent, together with a screenshot and an arrow indicating where the new button should appear. The input combined functional intent with a visual placement instruction.
The poster says a commit landed on main a “couple of minutes later”, and the app was up 5s later. Those timings are reported by the poster, not independently measured. The source does not explain the app’s deployment mechanism, identify a test suite or describe whether a person reviewed the change between the request and the commit.
The account is a small, specific example of an agent implementing a feature while a human demonstration surfaced the need. It does not establish how the feature handled every edge case or whether deployment was deliberately approved. The reported result is the rapid change and app availability; broader claims about reliability, unattended releases or the absence of human involvement would go beyond the source.
