Anysphere was the first company to create an AI-based IDE for software development - Cursor. Developers can use AI-powered auto-completion (for both individual strings and entire classes) and ask side-chat to create or fix a specific function, class or entire file (what later became known as vibe-coding). They can also create AI agents that independently perform simple coding tasks. Cursor relies on external AI models from companies including Google, OpenAI and Anthropic to power its platform, but plans to gradually implement its own model. Developers can use different LLMs for different tasks and pay only for Cursor (there's no need to purchase a subscription for each LLM).
