Cursor introduced Voice Chat with Agents on November 6, 2026. The feature supports two-way spoken conversations with agents in the Agents Window, IDE, web, and Cursor for iOS, and uses Grok Voice. Cursor says to update the app to try it; the release page does not specify a plan requirement or separate pricing. (https://cursor.com/changelog/voice-chat)

Voice chat is different from dictation
Voice chat is a live conversation: the user speaks, and the agent responds aloud. Dictation instead converts speech to text in the chat input. In the IDE, Cursor says Cmd+Shift+Space continues to toggle dictation. (https://cursor.com/changelog/voice-chat)
On desktop, start voice chat while an agent is idle and the input is empty by selecting the waveform button next to the dictation microphone. On iOS, Cursor also documents “Hey Siri, call Cursor” to start a call with a new agent. The feature offers several voice choices, including Ara, Eve, Leo, Rex, and Sal.

Cursor’s release page says voice chat runs with zero data retention when Privacy Mode is enabled. The announcement does not state that voice chat is available on every account or in every region, so confirm the feature in the current app. (https://cursor.com/changelog/voice-chat)
