What is Cursor?
Cursor represents a new generation of code editors built from the ground up with AI in mind. Unlike traditional editors with AI plugins, Cursor's entire UX is designed around AI collaboration. Features like Composer allow you to describe changes across multiple files, while the AI maintains understanding of your entire codebase. Built on VS Code, it's familiar to developers while offering cutting-edge AI capabilities including support for multiple models (GPT-4, Claude, Gemini).
