Cursor: the AI code editor that speeds up your development

Discover Cursor, the code editor that puts AI at the heart of development

Cursor is a code editor (IDE) built on VS Code that brings artificial intelligence into every step of software development.

Describe a feature in natural language and Cursor writes the corresponding code, taking your whole project into account: conventions, dependencies, related files. Bug fixes, refactoring, test writing: repetitive tasks get faster, and your developers keep control over every change.

Cursor is built around four functional pillars:

Each pillar covers a different moment in a developer's day.

1. Predictive autocomplete: code anticipated as you type

Cursor continuously suggests what comes next, well beyond the next line.

  • Accept multi-line suggestions tailored to the file's context
  • Chain repetitive edits: the editor anticipates the next occurrence
  • Cut the time spent on boilerplate and recurring patterns
  • Stay in control: every suggestion is accepted or dismissed with a keystroke

2. Codebase-aware chat: ask questions about your project

The built-in chat knows your project and answers with precise references to the relevant files.

  • Ask how a module or function works
  • Request a fix or an improvement and apply the proposed change
  • Reference files, documentation or error messages in your prompts
  • Get up to speed faster on legacy code or an unfamiliar project

3. Agent mode: delegate multi-file tasks

Beyond suggestions, Cursor can carry out a task end to end under your supervision.

  • Hand over a complete task: the agent edits several files consistently
  • Let it run terminal commands and fix the errors it encounters
  • Review and approve every change before merging it
  • Automate migrations and refactorings that span the whole project

4. The VS Code foundation: keep your habits

Built on VS Code, Cursor can be adopted without relearning your working environment.

  • Import your extensions, themes and shortcuts in one click
  • Keep your bearings: the interface stays familiar
  • Choose between several AI models depending on the task
  • Govern team usage with code privacy options
