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.

An AI co-founder that turns a raw idea into a validated startup blueprint
Tests whether an idea solves a real problem, surfaces assumptions worth checking and highlights where the concept is weakest before you build.
Produces editable customer personas and JTBD statements so positioning and messaging target the highest-value users rather than everyone.
Generates market-size estimates from industry and trend context, saving founders from assembling spreadsheets and survey data by hand.
Recommends go-to-market channels and produces SWOT and competitor breakdowns to sharpen positioning and differentiation.
