Cursor

Cursor is a code editor with AI built into every part of it. It looks and feels like VS Code, but you can chat with your codebase, ask it to make changes, and let its agent handle whole tasks. It understands your full project, not just the file you have open.

What you can do with Cursor

• Get smart autocomplete that predicts your next edit
• Ask questions about your codebase and get answers with file links
• Let the agent write features, fix bugs, and run commands
• Run agents in the cloud and check in on them later
• Connect to GitHub and Slack for team work

Who it's for

Cursor is for developers who want AI help throughout the day. Since it's based on VS Code, switching over is easy and your extensions mostly come with you.

Pricing

There's a free Hobby plan with limited AI use. Paid plans give you more agent requests and faster models, and there are team plans for companies.

Alternatives to Cursor

You can also try GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or Replit if you want hosting built in.
