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 intelligence layer that guardrails AI-generated code
Metabob evaluates, predicts, and guides code changes while an AI assistant is generating them, not only after the fact.
The engine evaluates code-quality patterns across the entire project instead of judging isolated snippets.
Problems are prioritized according to real business impact so teams focus on what matters most.
Metabob detects relationships between components that LLMs cannot infer in isolation and maps impact paths as the codebase changes.
