Profile

Cursor is an AI-first code editor, shipped as a fork of Visual Studio Code — so it can reuse the VS Code extension and language-server ecosystem. Its makers position it as a coding agent "for building ambitious software", combining an in-editor AI agent with tab completions and multi-file edits. Cursor is available on a free Hobby plan that needs no credit card, alongside a paid Individual (Pro) plan for heavier use.
