A non-engineer founder based in Phuket says he built the whole back office of HERD, an early-warning sensor project, by directing the agent in Cursor: a six-language website, company setup paperwork, payment links and a social content pipeline.

What they did
Over a few weeks he had the agent build and deploy a 255-page site in six languages, draft the company formation and banking applications, wire payment links into every language version, and write 22 scripts that render short videos and schedule Instagram posts. He kept three rules files describing the project, deploy steps and dashboard, plus a status file the agent reads at the start of each session.
What happened
The founder says payments and lead capture are live, a password-protected ops dashboard shows status and money in one place, and the status file stopped the agent forgetting earlier decisions.
Keep in mind
Self-reported and the project is still pre-prototype. He cannot read the code himself, and a lawyer and an engineer had to correct some claims along the way.
Try it with your agent
You are helping me run <your business> as a solo founder. First create a file called <PROJECT-STATUS.md> that records what the business does, what is live and what is decided, and read it at the start of every session. Then build <the next thing: a landing page in your languages, a payment link page, or a weekly post scheduler>, explain in plain words how to check it works, and update the status file when done.
Replace the <angle brackets> with your own details.
