Cursor

Cursor is your coding agent for building ambitious software. It helps you accelerate development by handing off tasks while you focus on decisions, from planning what to build to generating and reviewing code.

With Cursor, you can work through multiple interfaces, including a desktop IDE experience and a command-line (CLI) workflow. Cursor can support agent-style development that turns prompts and context into actionable plans and implementation work, including iterative review cycles. You can use targeted edits (such as command-driven actions) or broader autonomous workflows to handle end-to-end feature work.

For more complex projects, Cursor also offers cloud agents that work in parallel on ambitious tasks for hours or days. These agents use their own computers to build, test, and demo features for you to review. The platform also includes supporting workflows such as planning, review, and collaboration-oriented tooling (including bots and communication via Slack).

Models can be chosen based on the task, with options shown across cutting-edge providers. Cursor also includes developer-focused capabilities like code review support, as well as features for intelligent navigation and context-aware assistance.

Pricing and plans aren’t specified in the provided content, but you can download Cursor for macOS or request a demo for enterprise needs.

What does Cursor do as an AI coding agent?

Cursor turns tasks and ideas into code. It can help with planning, generating implementation, and supporting review workflows so you can iterate faster.
