What is Cursor AI?

Cursor is an AI-first code editor built on top of VS Code that integrates large language models directly into the development workflow. It offers intelligent code completion, natural language editing, and deep codebase understanding.

Unlike traditional code editors with AI plugins, Cursor was designed from the ground up to make AI a core part of the coding experience. Developers can chat with their codebase, generate code from natural language prompts, and get context-aware suggestions that understand their entire project.

Cursor supports all VS Code extensions and themes, making it easy for developers to switch from VS Code without losing their existing setup.
