Cursor
An AI-powered code editor that writes, edits, and debugs code for you. Built on VS Code with AI agents that can modify entire codebases.
What is Cursor?
Cursor is an AI code editor that writes and edits code across your entire project.
It's a fork of VS Code, so it works exactly like the editor you already know, but with AI agents built in. You can chat with it, ask it to build features, or let it fix bugs automatically.
Most builders use it in "agent mode" where it can create files, run tests, and iterate until the code works. It's particularly good at understanding your codebase context and making changes across multiple files at once. The AI can even run commands and verify its own work.
Free tier available. Pro plan is $20/month with more AI credits. Supports Claude, GPT-4, and other models.
