Cursor is a desktop application that functions as an AI-integrated IDE. This may sound like a lot but it’s actually quite simple. IDE stands for Integrated Development Environment, and in layman’s terms is essentially an interface for developers to write code on. Think of it as google docs, but for coding. Cursor adds an AI agent, similar to ChatGPT or Google Gemini, into the IDE to help you understand your code, debug it, and even generate new code.
