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.

After skill screening, contributors are matched to projects that fit their domain, from coding and math to linguistics and medicine.
No minimum hours and fully remote work, so experts can fit tasks around study, research or a primary job.
Typical work includes writing hard prompts, producing grading rubrics, ranking competing answers and reviewing model reasoning.
Contributors are paid for approved work each week, with rewards that scale with the quality of their output.
