Skills-based hiring platform for technical interviews, assessments and live coding
A multi-file IDE with whiteboard, structured scoring, private notes and code playback so interviewers can assess real problem solving rather than puzzle recall.
Automated pre-screens built from practical engineering tasks, with clear scoring that helps recruiters move qualified candidates forward faster.
AI assistants work with code context, prompts are captured, and AI reviewers rank video or code submissions against your own rubric.
Adaptive tests, activity monitoring, real-time alerts and playback reports help detect suspicious behaviour without manual review.

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.
