Cursor is designed from the ground up around AI features like inline edits, repo-aware chat, and agentic workflows.
Keyboard shortcuts trigger AI operations to rewrite, expand, or refactor selected code in place.
Cursor can leverage different underlying models and, in some setups, multiple agents for tasks like debugging and refactoring.
Cursor’s Bugbot helps identify and fix coding errors, including those introduced by AI agents, by scanning code and providing patches.
Developers prototype ideas rapidly, relying on Cursor’s inline edits and chat to riff on code until they converge on a working solution.
Cursor helps implement features or refactors across files by reasoning over project context and applying edits in multiple locations.
Bugbot and chat features assist in identifying the source of bugs, explaining error messages, and proposing code changes to resolve issues.
Engineers learning new libraries or frameworks use Cursor to generate examples, explore patterns, and adapt code quickly.

Cursor is an AI code assistant designed to help developers write, navigate and maintain code more efficiently. It typically integrates into editors and IDEs, offering smart autocomplete, code generation, documentation lookup and refactoring suggestions. Developers can use it to quickly scaffold new functions, understand unfamiliar codebases, and reduce repetitive work such as boilerplate and tests. Usage is often billed per seat for professional teams, with free or limited tiers for individuals.
Cursor is an AI-native code editor built on a fork of VS Code that tightly integrates large language models into everyday development workflows. Instead of treating AI as a plugin, Cursor bakes chat, inline edits, and repository- level understanding into the editing experience. Developers can ask Cursor to implement features, refactor modules, explain complex files, and navigate large codebases using natural language. Cursor supports local context indexing, multiple model backends, and team features geared toward modern product engineering. Its combination of familiar VS Code ergonomics and deep AI assistance makes it a popular choice among startups and teams who want a “copilot-first” IDE for building and maintaining complex applications.
