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.
The versioned filesystem built for AI agents
A 100% POSIX-compatible mount so agents and sandboxes use familiar Unix tools, with persistence, sync and version history handled transparently underneath.
Fork a workspace in milliseconds to run dozens of agents on isolated branches, then pick the best result without file locking.
Snapshot the entire filesystem at every step and restore any past state with a single API call when an agent goes off track.
Pause any agent for review, build approval queues and policy gates, then resume from the exact same workspace state.
Provides powerful parallel AI coding agents via a desktop command center, but is less integrated into a traditional editor.
