Anysphere Cursor
An AI-first code editor that turns natural language into production-grade code at scale.
Cursor is an AI-first IDE from Anysphere that transforms how teams ship software.
Built on VS Code, it combines code-aware agents, full-repo context, and enterprise-ready customization so developers can design, implement, and refactor entire features through natural language instead of manual grind.
🚫 The problem Anysphere Cursor solves
Cursor collapses the gap between thinking and shipping.
It eliminates copy-paste to external chatbots, handles full-repo reasoning, accelerates refactors and bug fixes, and automates boilerplate, documentation, and onboarding so teams focus on product, not mechanics.
✅ How Anysphere Cursor works
Cursor forks VS Code and layers in in-house and frontier language models that index your entire codebase.
Inline commands, chat, and multi-file agents translate high-level instructions into concrete edits across files, terminals, and tools, guided by configurable rules, memories, and custom commands.
