Summary

AI-powered code editor built on VS Code — integrating large language models for code completion, generation, and conversation directly in the editor — among the most widely adopted AI coding tools.

Core Contribution

Creates the AI-first code editor — Cursor's deep integration of LLMs into the coding environment (not just autocomplete but conversation, multi-file editing, codebase context) redefined what AI-assisted coding could be.
