Cursor

Cursor is the AI code editor that redefined the market. Built as a fork of Visual Studio Code by Anysphere (Y Combinator S22), it quickly won over millions of developers by integrating AI at the heart of every development interaction.

What sets Cursor apart is its AI-first approach. Rather than adding AI as a plugin to an existing editor, Cursor is an editor built around AI. Tab auto-completion predicts your next actions with remarkable accuracy, inline editing lets you describe changes in natural language, and Composer mode orchestrates up to 8 AI agents working simultaneously on different tasks.

The editor indexes your entire project to understand global context: file relationships, code patterns, dependencies. When you request a change, Cursor doesn't work in isolation — it understands your application's complete architecture.

Multi-model support is a major advantage: OpenAI (GPT-5), Anthropic (Claude), Google (Gemini) are all available. You choose the best model for each task. The Pro+ plan offers 3x usage limits on all models.

Cursor also offers Bugbot, an automated code review add-on integrated with GitHub, capable of detecting bugs in your pull requests and proposing fixes directly.
