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.

Runs without overlays, dock icons, or focus-stealing windows so it does not show up visibly during a shared screen.
Returns a complete working solution together with complexity analysis and explanation points you can say out loud.
Handles Python, Java, C++, Go, Rust, TypeScript, SQL, and many more, with responses in the language you prompt in.
Screenshot any question from any editor or chat window and get an answer back in seconds during the round.
Provides powerful parallel AI coding agents via a desktop command center, but is less integrated into a traditional editor.
