Cursor

Cursor is an AI-native code editor built as a fork of Visual Studio Code, designed to integrate large language models directly into the programming environment. Unlike standard plugins, Cursor indexes your entire local codebase, allowing the AI to understand project-wide context for accurate refactoring and bug fixing. It targets professional software engineers and rapid prototypers who want to reduce boilerplate work. By combining a familiar interface with powerful features like predictive editing and natural language chat, it significantly accelerates development velocity and lowers the barrier to managing complex repositories.
