Cursor is an AI-native code editor built as a fork of Visual Studio Code, designed from the ground up to integrate artificial intelligence into every aspect of the software development workflow. Developed by Anysphere, Cursor maintains full compatibility with VS Code extensions, themes, and keybindings while adding powerful AI capabilities that go beyond traditional code completion. The editor features an intelligent autocomplete system called Tab that predicts multi-line edits and cursor movements, an inline editing tool (Cmd+K) for making targeted code changes using natural language instructions, and a comprehensive chat interface (Cmd+L) that understands the full context of a project's codebase. Cursor's standout feature is its deep codebase awareness. It can index entire repositories, allowing developers to ask questions about their code, reference specific files and symbols, and get contextually accurate suggestions based on the project's architecture and conventions. The editor supports multiple AI models including GPT-4, Claude, and other frontier models, giving developers the flexibility to choose their preferred AI backend. Additional features include Composer for multi-file AI-assisted editing, integrated terminal with AI capabilities, and the ability to reference documentation and web resources directly in conversations. Cursor offers a free tier with limited AI usage, a Pro plan at $20 per month with increased limits and access to premium models, and a Business plan at $40 per user per month with team management features, centralized billing, and privacy controls.
