Anysphere
Write code faster with an AI partner that lives inside your code editor and actually understands your whole project.
Using Cursor is like having a senior developer sitting next to you, looking over your shoulder, ready to write the boring parts, explain the confusing parts, and catch your mistakes — except they never need coffee or sleep.
Cursor is a code editor (the program developers use to write software) with a smart AI assistant built right into it. Instead of copying and pasting code into ChatGPT and back, you can just tell Cursor what you want — like 'add a login page' or 'fix this bug' — and it writes or changes the code for you. It can read your entire project, understand how the pieces fit together, and make changes across multiple files at once. Think of it as a regular code editor that learned how to think and write alongside you.
