About Cursor

Cursor is rapidly becoming the preferred coding environment for AI-assisted development. Unlike plugins, Cursor is a full IDE that deeply integrates AI into every workflow — from writing new features to debugging errors to understanding existing code. The Composer feature lets you make coordinated changes across multiple files at once.

  • Multi-file AI editing (Composer)
  • Codebase-aware chat (Ctrl+K)
  • Tab for predictive completions
  • Terminal AI integration
  • Custom model support (GPT-4, Claude)
  • VS Code extension compatibility
