Cursor 2.0 is INSANE, but only if you use it like this...

Okay, I figured out the greatest cursor 2. 0 workflow of all time. It is going to have you building apps faster than you ever have before. Even if you've never written a code in your life, if you stick with me here in 20 minutes, you're going to learn this workflow and you're going to be a cursor 2. 0 master. You're going to learn six tricks here that are going to absolutely blow your mind. You'll also have a full productivity app you'll be able to use anytime you want. So, let's lock in and get into it. This

first step in the workflow will have you building way better UIs. And this is a brand new feature in cursor 2. 0. In cursor 2. 0, you can actually run a prompt multiple times simultaneously. Now, what's the advantage of this? Why would you want to do this? this whenever you're building out a UI. This will give you multiple options of a UI to ensure you get an actual beautiful one instead of that purple and blue gradient you get with every AI. So, steal this prompt from down below and build this out with me. I'll show you how this works. I'm going to build out a productivity app that includes a calendar and a to-do list side by side. You should be able to click and drag to to-do items from the list to the calendar so you can see your complete day. By the way, if you do this, you'll have an awesome app you can just start using right after the video. Uh, but let's do this. Here's the first step in this workflow and taking advantage of this new feature in Cursor 2. 0. You see this 1x here? This is the amount of cycles the agent will do. So, let's actually do 4x. And what's going to happen here is the AI will run this prompt four times for us. And then we can choose what UI we like the best. This will give us a lot better shot of getting better UI. The trick here is just using this when you're building out UI components. Cursor is smart enough where your backend code's going to be good 99. 9% of the time. It's the front-end code, the UI where the AI typically lacks taste. So let's hit send on this. And the AI is now going to build out this app for us. and this UI four different times using sonnet 45 which I think is the best AI model for coding right now and when this is done we can see those four different UIs and as this is building I know what your concern is won't this eat up a ton of tokens and basically send you broke well yes if you do this for every single prompt you do it will use up all your tokens the key again is using this just for building out UI whenever you do UI components that's when you use the 4x multiplier it's basically going to give us a menu of UIs that we can build out here. By the way, so many awesome features in Cursor 2. 0 that I'm going to show you how to use in a second. This workflow changed how I use this app completely. Okay, looks like Cursor finished working on all four runs of building out our app. Now, what we're going to do is actually test out each run to see which one looks the best so we can get the absolute best UI possible. So now let's test each one of these four variations out so we can see which one created the best UI so we can have the best UI possible for our productivity app. The setup to do this pretty straightforward. Just follow along with me here. I'll show you exactly how to switch the code between these four variations so we can test it out. The first thing you want to do is open up your terminal. So do control tillday to open up your terminal just like you see here. By the way, to do this first step of the workflow, you're just going to want to make sure your code lives on GitHub. So sign up for GitHub if you haven't. If that confuses you, if you've never used GitHub before, just tell the agent in cursor, hey, I want to put this on GitHub. It'll show you exactly how to do it. It'll do it for you. Once you do that, you're good to go for this first step of the workflow. Now that we're in the terminal, we're going to want to go to the folder that has each one of these variations. To do that, you're just going to want to do cd and then the path to that variation. to see the path of that variation. If you click review up here, it opens up this tiny window and then hover over the variation, these letters right here, you can see if you click that, there are your four variations. And if you hover over each one, you can see the path to that variation. So, you're just going to do in your terminal cd and then the path you see there. When you hit enter on that, it's going to take you to that variation. Then you just do npmi. You hit enter on that, it'll install the technology for that variation onto your computer. And then you hit npm rundev. And that actually runs the server with that code on it. I know that might sound a little confusing, but if you do that one time, all you're going to need to do to rerun those commands is hit up on your keyboard and it will pull open your pass command. So you can just put in the other variations very easily. Once you do that, you hit npm rundev. It'll start the server. You can go to the server and we can see what each variation looks like. So, I'm going to pull that over. That's actually a pretty good UI. Uh, that's rather clean. It's what I'm looking for. Kind of black and white, monochrome, very easy to look at and read. I like that. Let's check out the other variations to see what they look like. So, I'm going to go in and I'm going to CD into another variation. So, let's CD into KLUXW. I hit enter on that. That puts me in the folder. Then, we can just do npmi to install it. And then I'm going to do npm rundev to open it up. Let's go back in. Let's see what this looks like. Boom. We pull that over. Uh, I actually might like this a little bit more. I like this weekly view. Let's see what this looks like with the task. Build an app. Add it. Okay, let's drag it onto the calendar. That's pretty nice. I kind of like the way this looks. Let's see what happens when multiple. Okay, it puts on to I like the way that it's more of a week view so we can focus on our week. Now, let's test out the other variations. I'm going to come back in here. Let's do JGR8A, then npmi as always, and then npm rundev to run it. Now, let's see what this one looks like. Okay, similar to the last one, but it's the full month view. I think I like the week view better. Let's see this build in app. We're going to hit enter. We're going to drag that in. Oh, I like the way it actually looks on the calendar a little bit more, though. It looks a little bit more clean. This might be in the lead right now. Let's just check out the last variation to see which one we like. The last one's HM23s. Let's CD into that. HM23S. Enter. NPMI. And then npm rundev. Now, let's check this out. Let's see what the final variation looks like. Okay, slight different colors. We got a lighter green. Let's do build an app. Let's put it on here. And yeah, I don't like this quite as much. The X is off there. So, the UI is not quite as good. I actually like the UI the most on the last one. So, let's pull that one in. So, the winner was JGR8A. If you actually then click on that variation, you can see it right there. JGR8A. Once you have that clicked and selected, we'll hit review to pop that open. And then we're going to click apply all. And that's going to take all the code from this specific variation and apply it to our application locally. So this is basically choosing the winner. So I'm going to click apply all on that. And now if we go to our editor, boom, you can see all the code from that variations there. We chose our winner. Again, you only really want to do the use multiple models or run multiple times when doing UI. This will allow you to get the best UI possible. You don't need to do it for every single change you do cuz then you're just wasting tokens and it'll get very expensive. But if you do it just for UI changes, you're going to be in a really good place. All right, let's move on to the next step of the workflow, which is using the browser to its full potential. In Cursor 2. 0, they just released a brand new browser. It is built into Cursor. If you click on this button right here inside of the agent, you can see browser tab in Google

Chrome. click browser tab and it will actually open up a browser with your app running inside of it inside cursor. Now, this is cool, right? Not only can you actually see your app in real time and cursor, but here's where it gets really interesting. We can now actually start to use the browser to build out new features in real time. So, let's do this. Watch me here. We're going to add

a brand new feature. I want to add a weekly view to our app. So, I'm going to say this to the agent. I want to build a weekly view for the calendar. Please place it here. And then I can use this select element button here in the top right. And what we can do is we can actually select where we want this button. So if I highlight the element where I want to place this new button, I can click. And what you can see here is it actually put that element inside the chat with the agent. So we can tell exactly where we want these new features built. I'm going to hit enter on this. And there's a lot more use cases around the select element button I'll go into in just a second here. But just for placing features, you can see this will work really well where we'll now actually get that new button exactly where we told the AI to put it. And this is a big problem with a lot of these AI builders is you ask to make a change and unless you're hyper specific, it'll make changes you're not really looking for. Now, because this builtin browser inside cursor, we can actually tell it exactly where to put the different changes. This is also spectacular for debugging. In a second, I'll show you how to debug with this brand new browser, and it's going to make your life so much easier. But check this change out it does here. All right, so let's refresh the app here and see what we get. And boom, there it is. You can see it happens in real time. It adds the button to the actual calendar exactly where we put it. So I can toggle, yep, between month and week and it works perfectly. So now we can be a lot more precise with where our changes go. But on top of that, this is great

for debugging. Say that change we made didn't work right there. We'd be able to go in and say, "Hey, this functionality right here is broken. " And then I can use the select element button and choose which element is broken. Right? So if it's those buttons, I can choose those and place it in. Say it's adding the to-do list is broken, I can click that and it'll put the element in there. So now we can be super precise about our issues as well. Before you had to like copy and paste entire paragraphs of debugging from the consoles which is a lot of work. Now we can just say select element, click on it and it's add to our chat. Boom. Tons of time saved. You need to be using the inapp browser in cursor 2. 0 and you need to be using that select element. You're going to be saving so much time in the long run. I have three more steps in this incredible workflow I want to show you. The next one is really simple and easy. The two after that are going to absolutely blow your mind. But let's start with the next one, which is really, really easy. People don't realize this, but there's actually a

command inside Cursor 2. 0 that just instantly improves your app and code. If you go into any change you make in any agent and type in slash review and hit enter on agent review, it automatically has an AI agent go in, review all your code, look for security issues, look for efficiency issues, look for little tweaks it can make to improve it, and it just reviews it. Done. 10 seconds in, agent review, found no issues. It went through every line of code we did and found any security issues could find or any other problems. This is such a small quality of life improvement that nobody is using that you have to start taking advantage of. Anytime you make any sort of moderate to large change in your codebase, you want to just make sure you do slash and then click on agent review and automatically the moment you click it, an AI agent will go and review every change you made in the previous step. This is a really small, simple change in your workflow that will yield way better results and your app will just get so much better over time. you won't have that massive tech debt you have that you usually get from making changes with AI without reviewing your code. It's also really great for people who have never really coded before. The next two steps in the workflow are tightly connected

and this is the cursor hidden mobile app cloud agents in that hidden mobile app. People don't realize this but there is actually a mobile app for cursor. So this is me mirroring my iPhone right here. People don't realize there's actually a cursor mobile app. The thing is it's hidden. It's not actually in the app store. What you need to do to get this cursor app on your phone is pretty straightforward. You first need to go to Safari. So, if I open up Safari from here and hit enter. And now inside Safari, all I need to do is go to cursor. com, go to the website, and then all you need to do is click try mobile agent and then add this to your iPhone desktop. So, this is kind of hidden, so stick with me here. You hit the three dots at the bottom. Then you go to share. Once you're in share, click the three dots at the bottom again. And then you will see add to home screen right there. Clicking that one more time, the add to home screen button will actually take this app and put it on your home screen. And basically make it like it's its own mobile app. You wouldn't be able to tell the difference. So you click it. Now you're here and you're in the cursor mobile app where you can code on the go. Not many people know about this, but now you have a fully optimized mobile experience for cursor where you can build on the go. And I use this all the time. My brain juices go the fastest when I'm at the gym. Whenever I'm at the gym, I come up with so many ideas. And so I like to

have this on me where when I come up with the ideas, I pull it open and I can send commands to cursor to do work. But here's what's cool about this. These are all cloud agents. So these all make changes in the cloud. They're not making on your computer. So you can spin up as many changes as you want and then pull them down when you go back to your computer. The next step in this workflow is getting the mobile app. The step after that is actually spinning up these cloud agents to do many important things for you on the go. The first thing I like to do is have it make tiny little changes to our app. It's very good for making those quick changes. So if we want to make it so build out a dark mode for our app, I can hit send on that and it will start making changes in the cloud that we can then pull down and test locally on our computer. But it's also really good for things that aren't code related, right? So if we want to go in and have it do research for marketing or make a road map for us, we can say build out a feature road map for us that I can review. And then I hit enter. And now it's going to develop an entire road map for us that we can then pull down, review, and think about what features we want. We can also say, write out an announcement blog post for us. And I can hit enter. And now it's doing marketing for us in the cloud. These are all cloud agents working simultaneously that I can now pull down in my local environment and review what they do. So, this is fantastic for when you're on the go. I also really like this. This is a hack for you. Before I go to bed, I always try to make sure I have a few different processes going in the cloud. So, before you go to bed, download the Cursor mobile app onto your phone. go into it and make sure you have at least a few tasks going before you go to bed so that when you wake up in the morning, you can review the changes and get them committed so you always have productivity. You always have changes going. As you can see, we already have the road map built out. So, we can go in here. Here's the road map details. We can see all the features it thought of for our road map. And so, we're always coming up and building out new things with Cursor, especially with this new cloud agent. If you download this cloud agent and you use it to its full potential when you're on the go before you go to bed, always making sure you have tasks running for your cloud agent so they're always putting in the most work and you have your employees working for you. You'll get so much more out of Curse. As you can see, the dark mode's already done. It's already implemented, right? We're getting features done and I'm just on my phone at the gym or getting a coffee, whatever I'm doing. This will make you 10 times more efficient with cursor. If you implement these steps I just showed you into the your workflow, you're going to get so much more done with cursor. So, we talked about doing multiple runs every time we make a UI change so you can get the best UI possible. We talked about using the browser so you can review your changes and debug in real time inside of cursor. We talked about using the builtin agent review so that your code is constantly as good as it can be and getting reviewed by AI. And then we talked about downloading the mobile app so that you can always get work done with cursor on the go. And lastly, using the cloud agent so that you have employees working and building for you 24/7. If you use these six things we went over, I promise you're going to be a cursor master. This is the absolute best workflow I've ever seen with cursor 2. 0. Shout out the cursor team. These were excellent updates and I can't wait to see where they go next.
