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.

An extendable launcher that puts your tools, AI, and automations one keystroke away
Open apps, run commands, and search files from a single hotkey, with thousands of community extensions connecting the services you already use.
Chat with leading AI models, call Quick AI from any app, and let AI Extensions act on your connected tools to finish multi-step tasks.
Browse everything you have copied and insert frequently used text or addresses by simply typing a keyword.
Create shortcuts that launch URLs, run scripts, or trigger commands, and assign hotkeys or aliases to the actions you repeat most.
