Cursor
AI-first code editor with fast autocomplete and agents that edit across your codebase.
What is Cursor?
Cursor is an AI code editor built on the familiar VS Code foundation, so existing extensions, themes and keybindings carry over. It combines fast tab autocomplete with a chat that understands your entire codebase and agents that can plan multi-step changes, edit many files, run terminal commands and fix errors along the way. Work can also be handed off to background agents running in the cloud, and Cursor offers its own AI code review product. A free plan lets you try it, while paid plans increase usage and model access. It is a favorite among professional developers who embrace AI-assisted and vibe coding workflows.
