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.
Write end-to-end tests in plain English and let AI run them
Each test is a sentence in everyday language, for example 'Login to the app using email and password'. The AI maps that instruction to the steps needed to complete it.
Shortest sits on top of Playwright, so it uses the same reliable browser automation engine teams already trust for cross-browser testing.
Tests are installed and invoked from your own repository, so they live next to your application code and version with it.
Built-in GitHub integration lets tests run automatically as part of your CI workflow instead of only on a developer's machine.
Provides powerful parallel AI coding agents via a desktop command center, but is less integrated into a traditional editor.
