Cursor

Code as usual and Tab suggests the next edit as you type. Accept it and press Tab again to jump to where it predicts you will edit next. For bigger changes, open Agent in the sidepane, describe what you want in plain English, and let it search the codebase, make the edits and run the commands it needs. If it went the wrong way, restore a checkpoint.

Tab autocompletes from your recent edits, the surrounding code and your linter errors, and predicts cross-file edits when a change in one file needs another.

Agent completes multi-step tasks independently, edits files and runs terminal commands, with no cap on the tool calls it makes in a task.

Checkpoints snapshot your files before Agent makes significant changes, so you can preview an earlier state and revert to it. They are stored locally and separately from Git.

Model choice covers OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, SpaceXAI and Cursor's own Composer.

Developers who want AI inside the editor instead of a separate chat tab, and who are willing to let an agent edit files and run commands rather than only suggest.
