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.

Studio-quality podcast and video recording, editing, and publishing in your browser
Every participant records locally on their own device, capturing up to 4K video and 48kHz uncompressed audio in separate tracks that stay sharp regardless of connection quality.
Edit video by editing the transcript — search, cut, copy, and paste words and the footage updates. AI then removes filler words and silences or fixes eye contact in one click.
Turn a finished session into promotional assets: short clips optimized for each platform, thumbnails, headlines, show notes, transcripts, and translations or dubs in over 30 languages.
Broadcast in full HD 1080p to unlimited destinations simultaneously, or host webinars with registration, branded emails, Q&A, live call-ins, polls, and HubSpot lead capture.
