Overview

What is a Cursor?

Cursor is an AI-native code editor built on VS Code. It deeply integrates AI into every aspect of the programming workflow, providing functions such as intelligent code completion, multi-file editing, and code base Q&A.

Cursor’s Composer function can modify multiple files at the same time based on natural language instructions, and the Agent mode can autonomously perform complex development tasks.
