POV: you have your AI make a laundry sound when it's done running

Transcript

So my idea is simple. I basically want to play a laundry chime whenever my agent is done running. And I recently learned that Cursor has a CLI, so let's use that to build this. So the first thing I do is basically ask Cursor. I'm like, I want to build a macOS app that plays this chime when my Cursor agent is done. Can you help me plan this out? And it literally writes out different type of steps to take for different options. And honestly, it was kind of cooking with this. It basically told me to write a script instead of doing a macOS app so that I can write basically like a hook that runs every time Cursor is finished. And it's honestly way cleaner and less code. So let's do that. And guys, I know everyone says this about AI tools, but this literally took three prompts to finish and it was so quick. And it literally tells me at the end there's this variable laundry chime, just change that to your mp3. So I downloaded an mp3 off the internet, set it to that laundry chime, and let's test it out. Okay, so to test this project, I'm asking Cursor to just send me Hello World back. And then after this response, it should play the laundry chime. So let's see. Oh my goodness. Do you guys hear that? Is the laundry done? Now you're always gonna know when Cursor's finished. So go check out Cursor now with the awesome CLI and yeah, go build something cool.
