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.

Voice dictation for any Mac app, with screen-aware context
Tap to talk and have text inserted into whatever app is focused, from mail and docs to chat and CRM tools.
Takes a snapshot of the active app so rewrites match the conversation's tone and spell names and tricky words correctly.
Instead of raw transcription, TalkTastic produces text already shaped to your style and the context of the field.
Listens only on command, snapshots only on request, and lets you disable snapshots or auto-delete captured data.
