The AI-first code editor built to make you extraordinarily productive

Cursor is an AI-powered code editor built on a fork of VS Code. It lets you write, edit, and chat about your code with frontier AI models like GPT-4.1, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and Gemini 2.5 Pro. Cursor integrates AI directly into the editor with features like Tab (autocomplete), Composer (multi-file editing), and Agent (autonomous tasks), enabling a flow state where you can build software faster than ever before.
