Matthew Berman relays a workflow the Cursor team described to him: a separate bot per project and per workstream, tasks triggered from Slack, and the bot invoking the Cursor Agent CLI and cloud agents rather than driving Cursor directly. Their stated reason is context persistence, claiming the bot holds project context across Notion, email, Slack, and GitHub better than Cursor does alone, and loops on a PR until CI goes green.
