What Cursor is
Cursor is software for people who write, review or modify code. It uses AI agents to help with coding tasks across an editor, terminal and web interface.
The product includes a desktop editor for manual coding and agent-led work. Its command-line interface lets users work with AI agents from a terminal. Users can choose planning, read-only exploration or agent modes depending on the task. Cursor can also run cloud agents that users access from a browser or phone.
