AI coding agent
Cursor has significantly improved my development workflow. It feels like working with an experienced AI pair programmer that understands the project context, helps with multi-file changes, explains code, generates implementations, and assists with debugging. The seamless VS Code experience and strong code editing capabilities make it one of the best AI coding tools available today.
Occasionally the AI loses context during very large refactoring tasks, and long-running agent sessions can require manual guidance. Better memory across sessions, improved handling of massive codebases, lower resource usage, and more transparent reasoning during complex edits would make the experience even better.
I also evaluated Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Codex, and VS Code with AI extensions. I chose Cursor because it offers an excellent balance of project awareness, intelligent code editing, multi-file refactoring, debugging assistance, and an interface that fits naturally into my existing development workflow.
The 20 bucks of my monthly subscription give a lot more value than competitors thanks to the "Auto" mode. I only need to resort to the "smart" models for few tasks. The credit goes by fast using those.
It can be used for asking questions and learning new (code-related) things, not just coding.
Hey all! I'm Chris, Mobile Lead at Cursor, excited to hear what you think of our new app. We'll be around to answer questions throughout the day!
Voice input from the phone sounds useful, but I’d be nervous sending a messy spoken prompt straight to an agent. Does Cursor turn it into an editable brief first, or does the agent start from the raw voice request?
The mobile part I keep thinking about is the review step. Kicking off agents from a phone is easy, but merging on the go means approving diffs on a screen where you can't really read a diff, and every time we've moved approvals to a phone people start rubber-stamping. So the agent's summary of what it changed becomes the real gate, not the diff. Does the app surface anything risk-ranked, like this touched auth or deleted tests, or is review just scrolling the raw changes?
The always on cloud agents caught my attention . I'd love to hear how they're performing for people using them on real projects using them on real projects.
The mobile angle for coding agents is interesting, especially with Cursor already being associated with dev workflows. How much of the iOS experience is meant for actually editing code versus steering an agent through prompts, reviews, and approvals? I’d also be curious whether the app is optimized for existing projects or if it supports starting lightweight tasks from scratch while on the go.
Congrats on the iOS launch! 🚀 The most useful part for me is not full coding on mobile, but starting agents, checking progress, and reviewing work while away from the laptop. Curious how Cursor handles mobile review safety. Does it highlight risky changes like auth, payments, database migrations, or deleted tests before someone approves or merges from a small screen?
The phone surface makes sense if it is treated as a control plane, not a tiny replacement for the main coding environment. The useful moments are reviewing a diff, unblocking an agent, checking a dev server, or capturing context while away from the desk with repo permissions still obvious.
