+Start from scratch, without a repo
+Cloud Agents no longer require a connected GitHub or other third-party SCM provider to get started. Prompt from the get-go, then save your work to a Cursor Origin repo.
+#
+Get started
+Select
+Start from scratch
+in the repo picker, then prompt the agent. In the background, Cursor creates an Origin repo for you.
+#
+Turn it into a real repo, whenever you want
+Once the agent's build is to your liking, click the
+Create repo
+button to save your work in an Origin repo. Choose a custom name or pick one of the suggested ones, then set the visibility to private or internal. You'll get a fully scaffolded Origin repo, ready to share or keep building on. Navigate to the Codebase tab to find your repo and access your project.
+#
+A live preview, right in the browser
+Cursor now port-forwards your cloud agent's live environment straight to your browser, so you can preview it and use tools like design mode.
+#
+Publish your work
+Connect a Vercel account and hit publish to get a live URL for what you built.
+A Vercel account is required to use the publish feature.
+Get started today
