AI coding assistant with full-codebase context
Uses Sourcegraph's Search API to pull context from local and remote repositories, so answers reference real APIs, symbols, and usage patterns across your code.
Ask questions about your code and attach specific files, symbols, remote repositories, or other artifacts using @ to give the assistant the exact context you want.
Suggests contextual code changes based on cursor movement and recent typing, alongside inline completions to speed up everyday editing.
Build, save, and share reusable prompts so common tasks and workflows can be standardized across a team.

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.

The AI coding agent that turns ideas into shipped software
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 minimal, extensible terminal coding agent you can reshape

Free / Open-sourceOpen-source control plane for orchestrating coding agents
Delivers a polished AI-native IDE experience with multi-file generation, but has a smaller ecosystem than Cursor.
