Cursor's November 6 changelog adds Voice Chat with Agents — a two-way realtime voice call with the agent in your chat. You can describe a change out loud, ask what the agent is doing while it works, and hear short spoken progress notes and a brief answer when it finishes, instead of reading the full written reply. It works in the Agents Window, the IDE, on the web, and in Cursor for iOS, where a call can be started with 'Hey Siri, call Cursor' and muted or ended from a Lock Screen Live Activity.

Voice chat is separate from dictation, the older speech-to-text input: the voice agent listens and replies, and hands the actual coding work to the agent running your selected model. Speech runs on Grok Voice, with selectable voices including Ara, Eve, Leo, Rex and Sal, and Cursor says that with Privacy Mode on, voice chat runs with zero data retention.

The practical limits are in Cursor's docs: a signed-in account is required — API-key sessions cannot start a voice call — a daily limit on calls applies but the number is not published, and a call hangs up after about ten minutes of silence when no work is running. Updating Cursor is all it takes to try it.
