Cursor
Cursor is your AI coding agent for building ambitious software.
About Cursor
Cursor is an AI-first code editor, built as a fork of VS Code, that embeds AI agents into the coding workflow rather than as an add-on plugin. It offers codebase-wide context, multi-file completions, a chat interface, and natural-language edits and refactors, along with autonomous cloud agents that build, test, and demo features in parallel. Cursor works across the desktop app, terminal/CLI, Slack, and GitHub, and can run always-on agents on schedules or triggers to maintain and fix software.
