Study library, AI homework help, and 24/7 tutor access in one place
Search by school and course to reach lecture notes, study guides, past exams, and assignment solutions shared by students at thousands of institutions.
Submit a question and get AI-generated explanations and recommended study content rather than an unexplained final answer.
Ask a tutor at any hour across core subjects and receive a worked, expert-checked response, usually within minutes.
Work through textbook problems and math questions with structured, step-by-step solutions rather than answer keys alone.
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.
