Claude Code vs. Cursor vs. Codex: Cloud Agents Showdown

Cloud-based coding agents from Claude Code on the Web, Cursor Cloud Agents, and Codex all promise the same thing: kick off a task, walk away, and come back to a completed pull request. But do they actually deliver? And more importantly, which one fits into your real-world development workflow?

In this video, I'm putting all three to the test with the same feature build. I'll show you the differences in how each one handles setup, execution, and completion—and share my honest take on which workflows actually feel practical for daily use. No hype, just real comparisons to help you decide if cloud agents deserve a spot in your toolkit.
