Cursor
AI-native code editor built on VS Code
Where people discuss it: Product Hunt ↗
Cursor is a desktop code editor built as a fork of VS Code, so it keeps the familiar interface, extensions, and keybindings while adding AI throughout the workflow. You can describe a change in plain language and Cursor edits across multiple files, ask questions about your codebase, and accept inline suggestions. It offers a free tier with limited AI usage and paid Individual and Teams plans for heavier use.
