The news: Cursor, a coding assistant built by Anysphere, is the latest viral AI tool that’s being used by OpenAI, Instacart, Spotify, and Major League Baseball to accelerate coding workflows, per Bloomberg.
Cursor, which costs $20 per month and $40 per user per month for businesses, has quietly exploded—reaching 1 million daily users and $200 million in annual recurring revenue—mostly through word of mouth.
Its compatibility with various AI models and easy-to-use interface create new opportunities for novices, programmers, and developers.
