Cursor launched the /multitask command in its Cursor 3 interface, enabling async subagents to process multiple user requests in parallel instead of sequentially. Users apply /multitask to queued messages to bypass waiting for prior tasks. The update supports simultaneous execution of separate subtasks, as demonstrated in Cursor's video, removing sequential bottlenecks in the AI coding workflow.

Introducing /multitask in the new Cursor 3 interface. Cursor can now run async subagents to parallelize your requests instead of adding them to the queue. For already queued messages, you can ask Cursor to multitask on them instead of waiting for the current run to finish.

Why it matters

Cursor subagents use the /multitask command to execute requests in parallel while selecting optimal models for individual subtasks.

Subagents in Cursor run inside isolated context windows to prevent data accumulation in the main conversation thread.
