Cursor is an AI-native code editor built on a VS Code fork, developed by Anysphere. It is designed for developers who want an AI copilot that understands the full context of their codebase β not just the file currently open. Cursor supports multi-file editing where the AI can propose changes across several files at once, codebase-wide semantic search and Q&A, and agentic coding modes that can autonomously plan and implement features. The editor includes a chat interface that references your entire project, inline code generation with tab-to-accept, and a terminal that can be controlled via natural language. Cursor integrates with GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket for PR review and code review assistance. It supports Claude 3.5 Sonnet, GPT-4o, and custom models under the hood, giving users flexibility in choosing their AI engine. Cursor has become a standard tool for modern development teams, with adoption across startups and large enterprises for its ability to accelerate feature development, reduce boilerplate, and improve code quality through AI-assisted review. Pricing follows a freemium model with Free, Pro ($20/month), and Business ($40/month) tiers.
