How AI is used

Cursor is an AI-powered integrated development environment designed to support the software development lifecycle, from planning to writing and reviewing code. It functions as a full IDE that incorporates AI directly into the editor.

The tool is designed for software developers and engineering teams, from individual contributors to enterprises. It supports multiple AI models, including those from OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and xAI, allowing teams to select a model for specific tasks.

Key capabilities include codebase indexing, which helps the AI understand the context of a project, and autonomous agents that can execute coding tasks in the background. The tool includes an AI code review feature called Bugbot that integrates with GitHub to identify logic bugs in pull requests.

Buyers should confirm usage limits across pricing tiers and evaluate whether the cloud-based infrastructure meets their organization's security and deployment requirements.
