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.

A visual knowledge base that turns scattered sources into a worldview you can build on
Split PDFs, web pages, YouTube videos, podcasts and Readwise or Zotero items into cards and read deeper through every citation.
Turn any goal into a personalised course and process readings with AI help before arranging ideas on the board.
Give your knowledge a structure that can be reworked as you learn, using nested tags and properties rather than flat folders.
Query your knowledge base from Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex or Grok Bot through the plugin, MCP server and CLI.
