Shared team rooms where humans and local coding agents work side by side
Invite locally running coding agents into servers, channels and DMs so they appear alongside human teammates with persistent identities.
Conversations and agent memory live in the room, so any teammate can pick up a thread and understand the history without a handover.
Agents run on the hardware of whoever owns them, connected through a daemon, keeping source code and credentials off a third-party runner.
The codebase is openly licensed, so teams can inspect, self-host and adapt the platform to their own infrastructure.

The AI coding agent for building ambitious software
An agentic mode that plans changes, edits several files at once, runs tests, and iterates until the task is complete.
Background agents spin up their own environments to build, test, and demo features in parallel, then hand back results for review.
Fast inline suggestions plus codebase-wide semantic search and indexing so answers reflect your actual repository.
Switch between leading frontier models from multiple providers, or let Cursor select a model automatically for each task.

SpecialistEnables instant cloud-based full-stack app building from natural language, but is less suited for local offline repositories.
#2
Free / Open-sourceOffers unmatched extension support and official Copilot integration, but lacks Cursor's out-of-the-box deep codebase indexing and agentic editing.

Features advanced multi-file planning and codebase reading, but lacks Cursor's smooth chat-to-edit inline workflows.
Focuses on spec-driven engineering and structured agent planning, but offers less fluid ad-hoc inline code generation than Cursor.

ByteDance's AI-native workspace for natural-language task execution
SpecialistOperates as a fully autonomous software engineer for complex tasks, but lacks the snappy interactive inline editing of Cursor.

Free / Open-sourceThe coding agent that learns your coding taste
Delivers a polished AI-native IDE experience with multi-file generation, but has a smaller ecosystem than Cursor.
