Cursor is an advanced AI coding tool which revolutionises the building of applications. It does this by speeding up changes through code generation capabilities, therefore making coding much easier and faster. This innovative tool is meant for anyone who would like to build applications with limited expertise in coding.

What is Cursor?

Cursor is an artificial intelligence (AI)-first code editor that simplifies your code using top models such as Claude 3.5 Sonnet and GPT-4. It embeds the power of AI models right within the software of a code editor to allow users to write down code and make any quick changes in its flow. It writes, predicts, and manipulates code.

How does it work

Cursor is about automating 95% of an engineer's job, and it's like a human mind great companion to an engineer that reads the mind to be more creative while coding. A user can ask if they can make an app, explain how a code, or introduce features in three or four lines of text.

For those just starting to code, seasoned engineers, and anyone who has never coded.

But the real muscle of Cursor is putting this power of building any tool into anyone's hands, regardless of their little or much coding experience. This AI tool is the future of how we are easier, faster, and more accessible.
