Cursor 2.0
An AI code editor built for fast, agent-assisted software development.
In daily use
Cursor is a VS Code-derived editor with the AI layer built into the core rather than added as an extension. The consequence that matters is the review loop: an agent proposes a multi-file change and you accept or reject it as an inline diff, in the file, with the surrounding code visible. Repository indexing gives it project-wide context, so requests can reference things it was never explicitly shown. If your work is already editor-centred, this is the least disruptive way to get agentic changes without leaving the place you review code.
Best for
- Editor-centred AI development
- Multi-file changes with review in place
- Teams that want AI inside an existing IDE workflow
Key features
- Agent that plans and applies changes across files
- Codebase-wide context from indexing the repository
- Inline diff review before anything lands
Why it matters
It keeps the review loop in the editor, so agent output is read as a diff in context rather than pasted back from a chat window.
