Cursor

You open your project in Cursor, ask the AI for a change or a completion, and get code written or edited inside the editor itself.

Cursor is an AI code editor built for pair-programming with an AI model, and it is a fork of VSCode.

That means you can bring over your extensions, themes and keybindings in one click instead of rebuilding your setup from scratch.

Day to day, Cursor offers AI code completion, code generation, bug detection and documentation browsing, all made for helping engineers ship software faster.

It works as an AI code assistant and chatbot you talk to about the code in front of you.

Code privacy is the question most teams ask first.

Cursor has both local and cloud-based options, and a privacy mode keeps your code local and secure.

If you already work in VSCode, the switch should feel familiar, which is the main reason to try it over starting with an unfamiliar editor.
