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.

Build AI agents for anything, sell them to anyone
Assemble agents through a visual chat builder, choose a model, and give them instructions and knowledge without writing code.
Package agents as products and deliver them via white-labeled portals, with billing, seats and access control handled by the platform.
Monitor how agents are used and charge customers with billing built directly into the platform.
Connect agents to Zapier, HubSpot, Attio, Airtable, Google Sheets, Slack, ClickUp and other services so they trigger real actions.
