About Cursor

Cursor is a fork of VS Code purpose-built for AI coding. Multi-file edits, agent mode, and Composer make it a favorite of indie devs. Cursor stands out for autonomous agents for code generation and task execution, agentic code reviews with bugbot, cloud agents and automations, and composer for code assistance. Teams pick it because ai-first editing experience and composer for multi-file edits. Things to keep in mind: costs add up at scale.
