About Cursor
Cursor is an AI-first code editor built from the ground up to integrate large language models into every aspect of software development. Founded by Michael Truell, Sualeh Asif, Arvid Lunnemark, and Aman Sanger, Cursor is a fork of VS Code enhanced with native AI capabilities that go beyond what plugin-based solutions like GitHub Copilot can achieve.
Cursor's key innovation is deep editor integration — the AI understands your entire codebase, not just the file you're editing. It can reference files across your project, understand your coding patterns, and make multi-file edits from a single natural language instruction. The Tab completion predicts your next edit based on your recent changes, not just the cursor position.
The company has grown rapidly, attracting developers who want AI more deeply integrated into their workflow than a plugin allows. Cursor Pro ($20/month) offers unlimited GPT-4 and Claude access, while the Business tier adds team features and admin controls.
