AI agents that plug into CI/CD to scope, code, validate, and merge fixes end-to-end in sandbox environments.
Cursor is an AI-native code editor built as a fork of VS Code, designed from the ground up for AI-assisted development. It features intelligent code completion, multi-file editing, codebase-aware chat, and an agent mode that can autonomously plan and execute coding tasks. Cursor uses a combination of its own models and frontier LLMs (Claude, GPT-4) to provide the most context-aware coding assistance available. It has become the editor of choice for many AI-first developers.
