Cursor - AI Code Assistants Tool
Overview
Cursor is an AI-powered code editor and development environment that combines intelligent autocomplete (Tab), inline edits, an in-editor chat, and a fully autonomous coding Agent to help turn ideas into working code. According to Cursor's website, the product is built to accelerate developer workflows by offering contextual code suggestions, refactor-style edits inline, and a conversational interface that understands project context and file relationships. Cursor integrates with developer tooling to fit into team workflows: it connects to GitHub for PR review and repository context, ties into Slack for notifications and collaboration, and exposes a CLI and a mobile agent for on-the-go interactions. These elements are designed so developers can request higher-level tasks—like implementing a feature or reviewing changes—and have the Agent reason across files, run commands via the CLI, and produce code-ready results for review.
