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.
Automate your email with AI
A conversational agent that organizes your inbox, identifies what matters, drafts replies, writes scheduling emails and runs multi-step workflows from a single prompt.
Plain-language AI filters and scripts that automatically label, archive, star or sweep messages so you reach inbox zero faster.
Ask questions in natural language and search across your own messages — or your whole team's emails and attachments — to get answers rather than links.
Shared threads, private comments, assigned next steps and shared labels give a team one live view of important conversations.
