The AI-first code editor built on VS Code.
AI-powered code editor forked from VS Code with deep Copilot-style chat, multi-file edits, and codebase understanding.
About Cursor
Cursor is a next-generation AI-first code editor built as a fork of Visual Studio Code. It integrates AI directly into the editing experience — not just as a sidebar tool, but as a core part of how you write, refactor, and understand code.
With Cursor, you can chat with your entire codebase, ask questions about unfamiliar code, and get contextual suggestions that understand your project's structure. The "Composer" feature lets the AI edit multiple files at once based on a single natural-language instruction, making large refactors and feature implementations much faster.
Cursor supports all VS Code extensions, themes, and settings, so migration is instant for existing VS Code users. Under the hood it uses GPT-4, Claude, and other frontier models to power its AI features. The editor also supports codebase-wide semantic search, meaning the AI actually reads and understands your code — not just the open file.
For developers who want to stay in flow and write code faster, Cursor represents the cutting edge of AI-augmented development.
