GoonIntroduction to Cursor AI: A New AI-Powered Code Editor
After almost 3 years of using VS Code, I have decided to switch to a new code editor called Cursor AI. This editor is an AI-powered code editor that many people have been talking about. In this article, I will explain why I made the switch and provide an honest review of Cursor AI, including its pros and cons.
What is Cursor AI?
Cursor AI is a super hyped AI-powered code editor that allows you to import your existing VS Code settings directly into the editor. This means that you can start using Cursor AI right away, without having to spend time setting up your environment.
Features of Cursor AI
One of the main features of Cursor AI is its chat window, which allows you to communicate with the AI directly. You can ask the AI to generate code for you, and it will do so based on your input. The AI can also read and write your code files, allowing you to make changes to your code without having to manually type everything out.
How to Use Cursor AI
Using Cursor AI is relatively straightforward. You can start by importing your existing VS Code settings, and then begin coding as you normally would. When you need help or want to generate code, you can simply ask the AI in the chat window.
