Agent work is shifting from prompt-driven sessions to persistent, event-triggered operations

In one minute

Herdr keeps parallel coding-agent terminals alive and makes their working state visible, while Cursor’s cloud agents wake on PR, Slack, and scheduled events while holding a goal.

Vercel Agent also brings deployment, log, and metric context into Slack incident threads. Together, these examples point to runtimes that persist across disconnection and respond to ongoing work rather than only individual prompts.

From the Field Notes:
