The AI coding agent for building ambitious software
An agentic mode that plans changes, edits several files at once, runs tests, and iterates until the task is complete.
Background agents spin up their own environments to build, test, and demo features in parallel, then hand back results for review.
Fast inline suggestions plus codebase-wide semantic search and indexing so answers reflect your actual repository.
Switch between leading frontier models from multiple providers, or let Cursor select a model automatically for each task.

AI-native offensive security: continuous red teaming, white-box pentests, and PR review
Hacktron Red continuously attacks your entire organization the way a real adversary would, then shows you the breach path and helps close it.
Hacktron Whitebox reads your source code, proves each finding in a sandbox or against your deployed app, and produces an audit-ready report for SOC 2 or ISO 27001.
Every pull request is checked with your whole codebase as context, so issues are caught before they merge into main.
Only findings that can be shown to be exploitable are reported, verified rather than predicted.
