Cursor

The AI Code Editor — build software faster with an AI-first IDE.

Category: ai-codingFirst released: 2023Created by: AnysphereLicense: ProprietaryPlatforms: macOS, Linux, Windows

Cursor is an AI-first code editor forked from Visual Studio Code that deeply integrates advanced AI models into every aspect of the development workflow. It features an inline chat (Cmd+K) for generating or modifying code with natural language, a sidebar chat with full codebase context awareness, and the ability to reference multiple files and documentation sources in conversations. Cursor's AI can apply code edits directly to files and create entire projects from natural language descriptions. It supports switching between different AI models (including GPT-4o, Claude, and others) depending on the task. By integrating AI so deeply into the editing experience and combining it with the familiar VS Code interface and extension ecosystem, Cursor aims to be the default editor for the AI-assisted development era.
