Cursor
An AI-native code editor built on top of VS Code — designed from the ground up for AI-assisted development. Claude and other models are integrated deeply: it can read your entire codebase, understand what you're building, and make multi-file edits from a single instruction. Widely considered the most productive AI coding tool for professional developers. Relevant if you have engineers; not a tool end users interact with.
In practice
You're coding in Cursor and you highlight a buggy function. You type "why is this returning null?" and Claude (powering the AI assistant) explains the issue and suggests the fix inline, without you switching to a browser or another app. Cursor is a code editor with Claude integrated directly into the editing experience.
