The AI-powered code editor Cursor has introduced a new ‘Agent’ feature, positioning it as a direct competitor to established coding assistants like Anthropic’s Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex. This new experience allows developers to describe a task in natural language, and the AI agent will autonomously execute it by writing, editing, and debugging code across multiple files within a project. The launch highlights the intensifying competition in the developer tools space, where AI is increasingly used to automate complex coding workflows and boost productivity. The feature is designed to handle more open-ended, multi-step development tasks compared to traditional code completion tools.
