What happened
Cursor launched Voice Chat on November 6, 2026: you can talk live with your Cursor Agent. Say what you want changed or ask how far it has got, and it tells you by voice as it works.
Voice Chat works in the desktop Agents window, the IDE, the web version, and Cursor on iPhone.
How to use it
- Desktop and web: When the Agent is idle and the input box is empty, the spot where the "Send" button normally sits becomes a waveform button (Start voice chat). Click it to start a call. The microphone button next to it is still the original voice input.
- iPhone: Besides tapping the button, you can simply say "Hey Siri, call Cursor" to start a call with a new Agent. You can mute or hang up from the lock screen.

Voice and privacy
- Voice is powered by Grok Voice. You can choose a voice in Voice settings, with options including Ara, Eve, Leo, Rex, and Sal.
- With Privacy Mode turned on, voice chats retain no data (zero data retention).
Not the same as voice input
The previous Voice Mode is now called dictation: it turns what you say into text in the input box. In the IDE, it is still toggled with Cmd+Shift+Space.
The new Voice Chat is two-way conversation: the Agent answers you out loud.
Who it suits
- People who write code and do not want to stop typing, and prefer to describe requirements aloud while looking at the code.
- People who hand a task to the Agent and go do something else, then occasionally "call" to check progress.
- People who direct the Agent remotely from their phone.
Things to note
- The official changelog does not say which paid plans include it, whether there are time limits, or which languages are supported. Check the official documentation for these.
- Spoken requests can be vague. For important changes, still review the diff before merging.
