Who it's for

  • Software engineers who want AI assistance for coding tasks in a desktop editor or terminal.
  • Engineering teams that want to delegate implementation work to agents and review the results.
  • Enterprise development organizations seeking AI-assisted software development; Cursor links to an enterprise offering.

How it fits your workflow

Install Cursor Desktop or the CLI, then work in a project and ask Cursor to plan or build a software task. Choose from the models presented on the page and review the resulting work.

For larger tasks, delegate work to agents; the page describes agents working autonomously and in parallel. Teams can also use Cursor in Slack and have it review pull requests in GitHub.
