Cursor is an AI-powered integrated development environment for Windows, macOS and Linux. It is a fork of Visual Studio Code with additional AI features like code generation, smart rewrites and codebase queries. Cursor is proprietary software and developed by Anysphere Inc, an applied research lab involved in building AI systems.[1]

Features[edit]

Cursor includes a wide range of features using large language models to manipulate text with autocomplete and chat query function. As it is a fork of Visual Studio Code, already existing extensions and settings are able to be integrated in the user's workflow.

Tab can activate several functions within the program using autocomplete. The user can write code which the AI system can predict future text. Multi-line edits allow the user to rewrite multiple lines at once. The program can also suggest a cursor position to navigate to, suggesting which lines to edit next. Smart rewrites can be used to fix careless typos and incorrect syntax.

An AI can also be given access to a codebase to be prompted with appropriate questions about the program. Prompts can be written in plain English and do not require proper spelling and grammar. A user can query the codebase specific questions for improvements with the aid of code references and image support, as well as up-to-date information directly from the internet.[2]
