Learn how to use Cursor, an AI-powered code editor designed to make software development faster and more efficient.
Built to make you extraordinarily productive, Cursor is the best way to code with AI.
Provides in‑IDE AI assistance for code completion, in‑editor chat, and code understanding, with both cloud and local model options and enterprise AI service offerings. ([jetbrains.com](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/ai-assistant/about-ai-assistant.html?utm_source=openai))
A fast, native code editor that treats AI as a first-class collaborator — built in Rust, rendered at 120fps, with agentic editing, keystroke-level edit predictions (Zeta), multibuffer editing, native Git, and integrations for any agent or model.
Onlook is an open-source, AI-first visual code editor for designers and front-end builders. It lets you create and visually edit Next.js + TailwindCSS apps in the browser, using AI chat to generate and modify code and designs. Onlook provides real-time preview, code editing, asset management, branching, and one-click deploy; licensed under Apache 2.0.
Provides agentic AI code review, test-generation, and IDE/Git integrations that analyze repo context and pull requests to find bugs, duplication, and compliance drift. Uses specialized review and testing agents and integrates via CLI, IDE plugins, and Git hooks.
Windsurf (formerly Codeium) is the world's most advanced AI coding assistant for developers and enterprises. Windsurf Editor — the first AI-native IDE that keeps developers in flow.
Performs fast static type checking and provides a language server with code navigation, semantic highlighting, and completions for Python. Processes ~1.85M lines/sec and completes IDE rechecks typically under 10ms — intended for responsive editor workflows and large codebases.
Exposes Xcode build, simulator and device tooling to AI coding agents via an MCP server and CLI—designed so agents can inspect projects, run builds, and capture logs in macOS/Xcode workflows.
Provides symbol-level semantic code retrieval and editing for LLM-driven coding agents via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Supports LSP backends or a JetBrains plugin so agents can find, edit, and refactor code reliably in large projects.
CodeLayer is an open-source IDE that orchestrates AI coding agents to tackle hard problems in complex codebases. Built on Claude Code, it features battle-tested workflows, keyboard-first interfaces for speed, advanced context engineering for team scaling, and multi-Claude parallel sessions.
Provides semantic code search for AI coding agents by making an entire codebase available as context via hybrid BM25 + vector retrieval, reducing token costs. Uses incremental indexing, AST-based chunking, and Zilliz/Milvus-backed vectors for large-codebase and IDE workflows.
