Description of Cursor

Cursor, made by Anysphere, is an AI coding environment described by the company as a coding agent for building software. The desktop app is an editor with agents that plan and edit code, and Cursor also offers a command line interface, cloud agents that run tasks on their own machines, automations, a mobile app and a plugin marketplace. A Composer model is available alongside other frontier models.

For pull requests the company sells Bugbot, an AI code reviewer that integrates with GitHub and looks for logic bugs with a low false positive rate. The Bugbot page says all plans have a 14-day free trial. The pricing page lists Bugbot as usage-based on Pro plans and agentic code reviews with Bugbot as included in the Teams plan. The main page shows a macOS download, and cloud agents are reachable on the web.

The pricing page lists four plans. Hobby is free with no credit card and limited agent requests. Individual plans start at $20 per month for Pro, with Pro+ and Ultra for heavier use, and add extended agent limits, cloud agents and access to frontier models. Teams is $40 per user per month and adds shared billing, a team marketplace, usage analytics, team-wide privacy mode and SAML or OIDC single sign-on. Enterprise is custom and adds pooled usage, SCIM, audit logs and access controls.

Cursor says privacy mode guarantees that code data is not used for training by Cursor or its model providers when enabled. The site footer shows SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001 and AIUC-1 badges.

Can a general AI assistant replace it? A general LLM can suggest code but cannot edit your project or comment in a GitHub PR. Cursor and Bugbot are needed for that; the editor still uses LLMs inside.
