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.
A drop-in React Markdown renderer built for streaming AI output
Built-in Tailwind typography for headings, lists and code blocks, plus GitHub Flavored Markdown for tables, task lists, strikethrough and autolinks.
Caret indicators show that content is still generating, unterminated blocks are parsed rather than broken, and transitions are animated for smoother output.
Shiki-powered syntax highlighting with copy and download buttons, automatic language detection and optional line numbers.
LaTeX math through KaTeX, interactive Mermaid diagrams with fullscreen viewing, and CJK support so ideographic punctuation renders correctly.
Provides powerful parallel AI coding agents via a desktop command center, but is less integrated into a traditional editor.


SpecialistEnables instant cloud-based full-stack app building from natural language, but is less suited for local offline repositories.

Free / Open-sourceOffers unmatched extension support and official Copilot integration, but lacks Cursor's out-of-the-box deep codebase indexing and agentic editing.

Features advanced multi-file planning and codebase reading, but lacks Cursor's smooth chat-to-edit inline workflows.
Focuses on spec-driven engineering and structured agent planning, but offers less fluid ad-hoc inline code generation than Cursor.
SpecialistOperates as a fully autonomous software engineer for complex tasks, but lacks the snappy interactive inline editing of Cursor.

Free / Open-sourceThe coding agent that learns your coding taste
Free / Open-sourceA minimal, extensible terminal coding agent you can reshape

Free / Open-sourceOpen-source control plane for orchestrating coding agents

Free / Open-sourceGive your coding agent real design judgment
Delivers a polished AI-native IDE experience with multi-file generation, but has a smaller ecosystem than Cursor.
