An AI-native code editor built around deeply integrated AI pair-programming, letting developers generate, edit, and refactor code through natural-language prompts directly inside the IDE.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"I haven't opened a terminal in three weeks, I just tell Cursor what I want and review the diff."
LORE & ORIGIN
Built as a fork of VS Code starting in 2023, Cursor became one of the breakout tools of the AI-coding boom by 2024-2025, prized for its multi-file context awareness and an inline 'agent mode' that can execute entire coding tasks with minimal supervision.
