NOTES
Linear
✓
✓
Both. Delegate issues to Cursor or mention @Cursor in comments to trigger Cloud Agents. Also a native Automations trigger.
Slack
✓
✓
Both. Start agent tasks directly from Slack by mentioning @cursor in channels or threads. Automations also trigger on incoming Slack messages.
Amplitude

Cursor
TOP FEATURES · 12
F01
AgentaiRuns complete coding tasks end-to-end on dedicated virtual machines, from planning through pull request, without developer supervision at each step. Cursor Automations (March 2026) extends this into always-on operation, firing agents automatically on GitHub PRs, Slack messages, PagerDuty alerts, cron schedules, and custom webhooks. Cursor 3 adds Agents Window for parallel agent management and Canvases for interactive dashboards within the agent pane.
F02
Tab AutocompleteaiPredicts next edits across multiple lines and files based on recent code changes and cursor position. Suggests structural rewrites and multi-line completions, not just single-line fills. Tab accepts suggestions; suggestions update as the developer types.
F03
Codebase UnderstandingsearchIndexes the full project with an embedding model, giving Agent and Cmd+K accurate recall across large codebases. Resolves natural language questions to specific files, functions, and patterns without manual path input.
F04
Multi-Model AccesssettingsSwitch between frontier models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and xAI on a per-task basis. Auto mode selects the most cost-efficient model without touching the usage credit pool. Pro+ and Ultra multiply usage allowances 3x and 20x respectively.
F05
Scoped Edits (Cmd+K)editingApply targeted code edits or terminal commands using natural language on a highlighted block or specific files. Each change is previewed as a diff; developers accept, reject, or partially apply it without affecting the rest of the codebase.
F06
IDE (VS Code Fork)apiFull development environment built on VS Code with complete extension, theme, and keybinding support. All AI features are integrated directly into the IDE without a plugin layer. Existing VS Code setups migrate in one click.
Lovable
TOP FEATURES · 12
F01
AI App BuilderaiCreate full-stack web apps and websites by describing what you want in plain language. Lovable's AI generates, edits, and deploys code from a conversational chat interface with no coding required.
F02
Real-Time CollaborationcollaborationInvite unlimited collaborators to projects. Teams can work together with shared visibility, commenting, and concurrent editing across the same workspace.
F03
Lovable Cloud DeploymentcloudDeploy apps directly to Lovable's cloud infrastructure with automatic hosting and continuous deployment. Supports EU, US, and Australia regional data residency.
F04
Custom DomainssettingsConnect custom domains to published apps on Pro and Business plans. Free plan includes up to 5 lovable.app subdomains.
F05
Role-Based Access ControlsecurityEnforce granular permissions for viewing, editing, approving, and publishing across team members. Permissions are evaluated server-side and integrate with enterprise identity providers.
F06
SSO via SAML & OIDCusersIntegrates with SAML and OIDC identity providers including Okta, Azure AD, and Google. SCIM support enables automated user provisioning and deprovisioning for enterprise teams.
WHO IT'S FOR
Who each tool is built for
Use cases and fit tags from each tool's own positioning. Match these to your context, not their marketing.
enterpriseEngineering teams assign feature tasks to Cloud Agents, which run on dedicated VMs to build, test, and demo complete implementations for developer review. Agents explore codebases, execute search and test steps, and return pull requests without requiring developer direction at each stage.
enterpriseTeams configure Automations to run agents automatically on GitHub PR opens, Slack events, PagerDuty incidents, cron schedules, or custom webhooks. Rippling engineers use cron-triggered agents to collect notes, action items, and GitHub PRs into daily Slack dashboards. PagerDuty-triggered automations investigate logs, review recent code changes, and post proposed fix PRs to the on-call channel.
enterpriseTeams connect Bugbot to GitHub to get automated code review on every pull request. Bugbot identifies logic bugs, incorrect function calls, and type mismatches with line-by-line annotations. Developers apply one-click fixes from the PR interface without leaving GitHub.
Product managers and designersProduct managers and designers can quickly transform ideas into working prototypes by describing their vision or uploading screenshots and documentation. Lovable's AI builds the prototype in real-time, allowing teams to see their concepts come to life immediately. Users can then iterate with simple feedback and deploy with one click, dramatically accelerating the product development cycle from concept to testable prototype without requiring extensive coding knowledge or developer resources.
