# Cursor

> Cursor is an AI-first code editor built by Anysphere, a San Francisco startup founded in 2022 by four MIT graduates. Originally a fork of Visual Studio Code, Cursor has evolved into a full agent-based development platform where autonomous AI handles everything from autocomplete to end-to-end feature building. With $2B+ in annualised revenue, over half the Fortune 500 as customers, and a valuation that reached $29.3B after its Series D in November 2025, Cursor has become the fastest-growing SaaS company ever from $1M to $500M ARR - turning the IDE from a code-writing tool into an AI orchestration layer.

## Products & services

- **Cursor IDE** — AI-first code editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux - originally forked from VS Code, now being rebuilt from scratch as Cursor 3. Includes Tab autocomplete, Composer multi-turn assistant, codebase indexing, and natural language code editing.
- **Background Agents** — Autonomous agents that run in remote cloud environments, cloning GitHub repos, working on separate branches, and pushing changes without interrupting the developer's local workflow.
- **BugBot** — Automated PR review tool that connects to GitHub, inspects code commits, and leaves inline comments on potential issues - reviewed over 1 million pull requests in beta, flagging 1.5 million issues.
- **Composer 2** — Cursor's in-house AI model for coding, running 4x faster than comparably powerful third-party models. As of late 2025, it generates more code than almost any other LLM in the world.
- **Cursor Enterprise** — Enterprise-grade deployment with SOC 2 Type 2 certification, AES-256 encryption, SAML SSO (Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace), Privacy Mode, admin dashboards, and support for codebases with millions of lines.
- **Cursor Web & Mobile** — Browser and mobile versions of Cursor launched June 2025, extending agent management beyond the desktop IDE.
