Cursor is a fork of Visual Studio Code that embeds AI capabilities directly into the coding environment. It maintains the familiar VS Code interface while adding powerful AI assistance. The tool acts as a coding partner that understands your entire codebase, offers intelligent suggestions, handles repetitive tasks, and helps with complex refactoring. Developed by Anysphere with funding from OpenAI, Cursor aims to let developers focus on business logic and problem-solving rather than boilerplate code.
