It is built on the same base as Visual Studio Code, so your extensions, themes and shortcuts work. On top of that, it adds an AI agent that understands your whole codebase.<\/p>\n<p>You can chat with the agent, give it a task and review its changes, or let cloud agents work in the background. Tab completion predicts your next edit, and Bugbot reviews pull requests to catch bugs before they ship.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"cursor-key-features\">Cursor key features<\/h2>\n<div class=\"ait-grid\">\n<div class=\"ait-card\"><span class=\"ait-num\">01<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Coding agent<\/h3>\n<p>Give a task and the agent edits many files to complete it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ait-card\"><span class=\"ait-num\">02<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Tab completion<\/h3>\n<p>Predicts and writes your next edit as you type.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ait-card\"><span class=\"ait-num\">03<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Codebase understanding<\/h3>\n<p>Indexes your project so answers match your code.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ait-card\"><span class=\"ait-num\">04<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Cloud agents<\/h3>\n<p>Run agents in the background and review their work later.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ait-card\"><span class=\"ait-num\">05<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Bugbot<\/h3>\n<p>AI code review that finds bugs in pull requests.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ait-card\"><span class=\"ait-num\">06<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Multiple models<\/h3>\n<p>Choose models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and Cursor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ait-card\"><span class=\"ait-num\">07<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Inline edit<\/h3>\n<p>Select code and describe the change in plain words.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ait-card\"><span class=\"ait-num\">08<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>VS Code compatible<\/h3>\n<p>Import your extensions, themes and keybindings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ait-card\"><span class=\"ait-num\">09<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Rules and memories<\/h3>\n<p>Teach Cursor your project style and conventions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"cursor-pricing-plans-2026\">Cursor pricing plans (2026)<\/h2>\n<p>Cursor has a free plan and paid plans with more agent usage.
