Cursor

● Preliminary · not yet tested

AI code editor with built-in coding agents

A code editor built around AI: tab completion, chat, and agents that can plan and make multi-file changes. The $8 Plus plan runs Grok models only; Claude, GPT and Gemini models need Premium ($30/mo) or higher and are billed separately at API list price. Premium and higher also add cloud agents, automations, and AI code review.
