Cursor is a code editor with AI built in from the ground up. You can ask it to change several files at once, explain a whole project's structure or build a new feature from a description. It's based on Visual Studio Code, so the environment feels familiar to its users. Cursor is popular with professionals, and less experienced people can also build small apps with it, as long as they know to check the results. A privacy mode can be switched on. The free version has a limited number of requests.

Who it is for: Programmers and technically minded business owners.
