AI coding agent for VS Code, JetBrains and Visual Studio with bring-your-own-key model freedom
Connect Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok or local Ollama/LM Studio models with your own API keys, or use CodeGPT credits, and switch models per task without moving your code.
The agent reads your codebase, proposes a plan you can edit, and writes code only after you approve each step, keeping you in control of every change.
Watch which files are read, which options are weighed and which edits are suggested, with live tracking of context usage and no hidden limits.
Bridge the agent to external APIs, documentation and databases through MCP, and define project rules so generated code follows your standards.

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.
Provides powerful parallel AI coding agents via a desktop command center, but is less integrated into a traditional editor.


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.
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
Free / Open-sourceA lightweight terminal coding agent supporting multiple model providers, tailored for command-line power users.

Free / Open-sourceAn open-source control plane for orchestrating multiple coding agents, offering more flexibility than single IDE plugins.

SpecialistAutomates deep code reviews on pull requests, whereas CodeGPT focuses primarily on active in-editor generation and refactoring.

Delivers a polished AI-native IDE experience with multi-file generation, but has a smaller ecosystem than Cursor.

SpecialistAI-powered terminal and agentic software factory for development teams
