Cursor

Cursor is a code editor based on VS Code, but with AI built in as a core part of the experience rather than a bolted-on plugin. It lets you chat with your project’s code, request full refactors, or autocomplete entire blocks of logic.

The difference from a traditional autocomplete assistant is that Cursor can understand the context of several files in the repository at once, which makes it useful for changes that touch multiple parts of the codebase, not just isolated lines.

For product teams already working in VS Code, the migration is practically immediate. As with any generative code AI, it’s worth reviewing changes before shipping them to production.
