Cursor is an AI-first code editor that aims to revolutionize the software development process by leveraging AI to boost productivity and efficiency. Offering a seamless transition from VSCode, it provides features such as one-click migration, local security options, and a chat function for project collaboration. Its AI capabilities enable developers to make code changes, generate code from scratch, and effortlessly fix bugs, empowering them to build software faster and more effectively. With the ability to import all extensions, themes, and keybindings from VSCode, Cursor ensures a familiar environment while integrating AI-driven enhancements.
In terms of privacy and security, Cursor offers a “privacy mode” to ensure that none of the user’s code is stored by the platform, and it is SOC 2 certified. The pricing plans include a free hobby plan, a pro plan, and a business plan, each tailored to different user needs and workloads. The editor also employs custom models such as GPT-4 and cursor-small for various editing tasks, each with its own speed and capabilities. Regardless of the plan chosen, all generated code belongs to the user and can be used freely, even for commercial purposes.
Testimonials from engineers and developers indicate that tens of thousands of engineers trust Cursor and is highly regarded for its ability to enhance productivity significantly. Its powerful autocomplete feature, Copilot++, further streamlines the coding process by suggesting mid-line completions and entire code differentials. With its focus on AI-driven assistance and user-centric features, Cursor seeks to empower developers and simplify the software development workflow.
