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.
Hand it an issue, review the diff, merge when you are ready
Give it an issue and it reproduces the bug, edits the code, runs your tests and opens a pull request while you focus on decisions.
The agent proposes a task list and names the files it expects to change. You select the tasks, and edits outside the declared scope stop and ask first.
Each step of a task is routed to the model that fits it, with the vendor abstracted behind an effort setting and a stated outcome.
Launch many jobs across projects at the same time. Each agent runs in its own sandbox and reports back with a reviewable diff.
