An AI coding editor and agent for building software.
- Coding & development · editorial fit
Overview
Cursor is a coding agent for turning software ideas and development tasks into changes a developer can inspect and review. Its agent workflow can read a codebase, plan work, edit files, and run build or test steps as part of an end-to-end task.
The product spans a desktop editor and command-line workflow, with collaboration surfaces that connect agent work to terminal, Slack, and GitHub review contexts. It is intended for developers who want delegated implementation while retaining review control.
