Atlantic
Atlantic reads your backlog, support desk and repository, picks one problem, writes the fix, tests it in a browser, has a second model review the diff and opens the pull request.
- From tickets to pull requests
- Evidence on the pull request
Atlantic vs Cursor
Where the work starts, and what lands in GitHub.
Cursor is a coding agent you can run in an editor, a terminal, Slack or the cloud, and it can start work from schedules and events in tools like Slack, GitHub and Linear. Atlantic starts from your tickets and support desk, picks the problem itself and opens the pull request last, after a browser test and a second-model review.
- Browser test on video
- Second-model review
- Auto-merge is off by default
Same repository. A different finish line.
Both can open pull requests. The difference is where the work starts, how each change is proven, and how you are billed.
Cursor
Cursor runs agents in an editor, a terminal, Slack, GitHub and the cloud. Cloud agents work in their own virtual machines and open pull requests with screenshots and videos. Automations start agents from schedules and from events in tools like Slack, Linear and GitHub.
- Editor, CLI and cloud agents
- Automations and Bugbot
| Feature | Atlantic | Cursor |
|---|---|---|
| How work starts | Three finders read your backlog, support desk and repository, each working blind. A judge picks one problem. | You start a cloud agent yourself, for example by mentioning @cursor in Slack, GitHub or Linear. Or you set up an automation that runs on a schedule or on events in Slack, GitHub, Linear and more. |
| Browser testing | Before the pull request opens, a browser agent drives the change for up to 40 steps on a fresh preview machine, recorded on video. | Cloud agents run in their own virtual machine, can drive a browser and attach screenshots and videos to the pull request. |
| Review of the change | A second model reviews the diff. Blockers go back for up to 2 fix cycles before the pull request opens. | Bugbot reviews pull request updates automatically, and Autofix can start a cloud agent to fix what it finds. |
| Run record | Every external call a run makes is logged with source, status and time. Each provider is marked live or mocked. | Cloud agent runs keep transcripts, run events, setup logs and artifacts. |
| Pull requests and merging | Opens pull requests on GitHub only. Atlantic never pushes to your default branch. Auto-merge stays off unless you turn it on for repositories you name. | Cloud agents open pull requests. PR Routing and Approval can approve low-risk pull requests when your criteria are met. |
| How you pay | A credit is used only when Atlantic opens a pull request. Failed and cancelled runs are free. | Monthly plans with a shared usage pool. Cloud agents are charged at API pricing for the model you select, and Bugbot has usage-based plans. |

Three finders read the backlog, the support desk and the repository in parallel, each working blind. A judge links what they found, picks one problem and writes a thesis.
The pull request opens last, with the thesis, evidence, QA verdict and video, and reviewers are requested. Atlantic never pushes to your default branch. Auto-merge stays off unless you turn it on for repositories you name.
