Cursor

Cursor is an AI-first code editor starting at $20/month for Pro, built as a fork of Visual Studio Code, designed from the ground up to make pair programming with AI a primary workflow rather than an add-on. Since its launch, Cursor has surpassed 1 million active developers and has been downloaded over 10 million times, making it the fastest-growing AI-native IDE on the market. It combines a familiar IDE experience with deep, codebase-aware AI capabilities, allowing developers to write, refactor, debug, and reason about code at significantly higher velocity than traditional autocomplete tools. Cursor indexes your entire repository — supporting codebases with over 100,000 files — so that every AI suggestion, completion, and agent action is grounded in real project context rather than generic model knowledge. The Tab autocomplete feature predicts multi-line and multi-file edits with context-aware accuracy, while the Agent mode handles autonomous multi-step tasks like scaffolding features, fixing bugs across files, and running terminal commands end-to-end. According to Cursor's published benchmarks, developers using Agent mode report completing coding tasks up to 2x faster than with traditional autocomplete alone. Cursor provides access to frontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and xAI, with per-task model switching and automatic routing to match each prompt with the best-suited model. In 2025, Anysphere — the company behind Cursor — raised a $900 million Series C at a $9.9 billion valuation, underscoring the market's confidence in AI-native development tools. For teams, Cursor Rules let organizations encode style guides, architectural constraints, and review policies that the AI follows consistently, ensuring AI-generated code meets team standards. The platform spans desktop, cloud, CLI, and mobile, so long-running agent tasks can be kicked off, monitored, and reviewed from anywhere without blocking the developer's local session.
