Cursor
AI-native code editor built for professional developers who want deep codebase context.
Introduction
Cursor is an AI-first IDE forked from VS Code, designed to understand your entire codebase rather than just the open file. It supports multi-file edits, natural-language refactoring, inline chat, and automatic context retrieval across large repositories. Cursor routes requests to frontier models (GPT-4, Claude) while offering a Privacy Mode that prevents code from being stored or used for training. It is rapidly becoming the preferred environment for AI-augmented software development.
