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.

Automate your email with AI
A conversational agent that organizes your inbox, identifies what matters, drafts replies, writes scheduling emails and runs multi-step workflows from a single prompt.
Plain-language AI filters and scripts that automatically label, archive, star or sweep messages so you reach inbox zero faster.
Ask questions in natural language and search across your own messages — or your whole team's emails and attachments — to get answers rather than links.
Shared threads, private comments, assigned next steps and shared labels give a team one live view of important conversations.
