The AI coding agent that turns ideas into shipped software
Hand off a task in plain language and agents plan it, edit across multiple files, run commands, and report back what changed.
Launch several agents at once in hosted environments so long-running work continues in the background while you focus elsewhere.
Choose between models from multiple leading providers per task, balancing reasoning depth, speed, and cost as needed.
Cursor runs as a desktop IDE, in the terminal via CLI, and inside Slack and GitHub so agents review pull requests in existing workflows.
