Talk to your Cursor agent out loud: realtime voice chat is live on desktop, web and iOS
Cursor's November 6, 2026 changelog adds Voice Chat with Agents: a two-way realtime call where you describe a change, ask what an agent is doing, and hear short progress notes while it works. It runs in the Agents Window, the IDE, on web and in Cursor for iOS. Start a call with the waveform button when the agent is idle and the chat input is empty; on iOS you can also say "Hey Siri, call Cursor" and mute or hang up from a Lock Screen Live Activity. Voice chat is powered by Grok Voice with selectable voices, and Privacy Mode keeps zero data retention. It is separate from dictation (the older Voice Mode that only turns speech into text).
Why it matters
Hands-free steering matters when you are reviewing a diff on a walk or cannot type. You get spoken status instead of reading a wall of agent logs.
Who it's for
Cursor users on desktop, web or iOS who want to steer coding agents by voice instead of only typing.
How to try it
- Update Cursor on desktop or open the latest web / iOS client.
- With an idle agent and empty chat input, click the waveform Start voice chat button (next to dictation).
- Describe a change or ask what the agent is working on; keep talking while it codes and listen for short progress notes.
- On iOS try Hey Siri, call Cursor; pick a Grok Voice in Voice settings if you want a different speaker.
Plan & availability: Shipped in the Cursor changelog dated November 6, 2026. Update Cursor to get the waveform Start voice chat control. Privacy Mode supported with zero data retention for voice. Checked on cursor.com/changelog/voice-chat on November 7, 2026.
