Cursor

About Cursor

Cursor is an AI-native code editor that has rapidly become the preferred tool for developers who want AI assistance deeply woven into their coding workflow rather than bolted on as an afterthought. Built on top of VS Code, Cursor preserves the familiar environment developers know while adding capabilities that go far beyond traditional autocomplete. Its codebase context feature allows the AI to understand your entire project structure, making suggestions and changes that are aware of how files interconnect. Multi-file editing enables the AI to make coordinated changes across a codebase in response to a single natural language instruction. Cursor supports multiple AI models including GPT-4 and Claude, with users able to switch based on task requirements. Custom AI rules let teams define project-specific coding conventions the AI must follow. Privacy mode ensures no code is stored externally. With 500,000+ users and a 4.7 G2 rating, Cursor has become the benchmark for what an AI-integrated development environment should look like.
