Watch Cursor Composer 2.5 swarm 10 agents inside MagicPath, building functional pages, a mobile app, and a bunch of components for the same project. Then I export whatever I want into Figma. Pretty crazy. (video is not sped up)


Burnout isn’t caused by hard work. Instead, it’s a decoupling of effort and outcome. You push as hard as you can and nothing moves. Your company has become a supertanker with its own inertia.


There will only be two types of business owners in the next 5 years: 1) The tech-enabled operator: uses AI to scale with fewer people and lower costs than ever. 2) The premium artisan: goes all in on human touch and commands higher prices because of it. Everyone sitting in the middle dies.

AI needs an interface Actually... no. AI doesn't. It's us, humans, we need visual interfaces to interact with computers. And that's what AI agents are lacking Cosmo adds the UI layer to AI agents. Just type or speak from your desktop, and UI generates in real time Interact on agentic UI, not through text


The more ambitious the task you give your AI agent, the more ambitious the results.


I think folks are partially missing the story here. ClickUp is in the category perhaps most devastated by AI. Monday, Asana, etc. are down further than anyone. Atlassian/Jira was too until the last quarter. Literally the “worst” category of software in the AI Age. It was time to take radical action, no matter how well ClickUp was doing relative to peers. The only choice? Focus on 100x employees. And pay them. Otherwise, they’d just never get there. If you are in a category heavily impacted by AI, and especially if the public comps are way down … you have to take even more extreme action than the rest. No one is coming to save you.

after 72hs nonstop using Composer 2.5, here are my takes: good: ▫️ probably the best speed/intelligence ratio out of any model right now ▫️ stupidly cheap $ ▫️ web search feels on par with opus. previous composer versions struggled a lot with autonomous research ▫️ context handling is really solid. No hallucinations in long chats ▫️ prompts are nearly one-shot most of the time ▫️ MCP connections feel way more stable. Had frequent issues on previous versions needs improvement: ▪️ too often lists actions instead of just executing them. feels like it should be more agentic by default ▪️ sometimes kills processes from other running projects without asking first ▪️ tends to push a single path forward instead of presenting tradeoffs. would love to see multiple approaches + pros/cons ▪️ build outputs can feel repetitive. same information sometimes repeated across multiple blocks overall, loving it so far. It really feels like magic. Great job @cursor_ai team! Cc/ @ericzakariasson @leerob
