​

Where did Cursor come from?

Code is fundamentally text, and our tools for writing it have evolved from simple text editors into increasingly intelligent development environments.

Initially, we had features like syntax highlighting, to make code more readable. Then, we had features like autocomplete, to make code more efficient.

These have been the standard for a long time, but with Cursor, we’re re-inventing how you work with code.

​

How does it work?

Cursor provides the user with a few fundimental features that are only made possible by the development of LLMs (Large Language Models).
