Description
Cursor is a fork of Visual Studio Code rebuilt from the ground up for AI-assisted programming. It combines the familiar VS Code interface with powerful AI features including inline code generation, multi-file editing capabilities, and deep codebase understanding through embeddings.
Unlike simple AI plugins, Cursor treats AI as a first-class citizen—every feature is designed around the assumption that you're working alongside an AI partner. The result is a more fluid, context-aware coding experience.
