Description

When working across multiple codebases, your AI assistant only sees one at a time; you lose context the moment you switch repos. Cursor Workspaces aims to fix this by letting you pin multiple repositories into a single indexed workspace.

In this episode, Jonny and Emil demo the feature with a practical scenario: an app running out of memory that needs both a Kubernetes deployment change and a Terraform update in a different repo. Along the way, they test whether the AI can figure out cross-repo dependencies on its own, and discover why human involvement still matters.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Set up Cursor workspaces with multiple projects.
  • Let your agent access and manipulate multiple codebases.
  • Leverage best practices from previous projects.
