About Cursor
Cursor is an AI-first code editor that brings large language model assistance directly into the editing experience. Modern code editors assist with syntax highlighting and debugging, yet lack the intelligent assistance that AI language models can provide. Cursor addresses this by building an editor specifically designed to leverage AI for coding assistance. The editor integrates Claude or GPT-4, allowing inline code explanation, refactoring, generation, and debugging. Rather than switching to separate tools for AI assistance, developers access AI capabilities directly within their editor. For developers wanting native AI-powered editing, Cursor provides comprehensive integration of language models into the coding workflow.
How It Works
Using Cursor involves writing code as in any editor, with AI assistance available throughout. You can select code and ask questions like "What does this do?" receiving detailed explanations. Write comments describing desired functionality, and Cursor generates implementations. Ask for refactoring suggestions and receive improvements. For debugging, explain errors and Cursor suggests fixes. The editor maintains conversation history, allowing multi-turn discussion about code and requirements. Cursor works with various programming languages and frameworks.
