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.

Secure, sovereign sandboxes for enterprise AI agents
Every agent runs in a genuine VM with its own kernel and disk on Apple's Virtualization framework or KVM, not in a container that shares the host kernel.
The sandbox sees one mounted folder and holds placeholder values instead of real API keys, which stay on your host and are brokered only to approved hosts.
The network is closed by default; traffic flows only to allow-listed hosts through a broker whose rules live on the host, out of reach of anything inside the sandbox.
Checkpoint before risky work and restore a running machine, processes included, in about a second rather than rebuilding it from scratch.
