What it is

Cursor is a workspace for writing and reviewing software with AI assistance. It can examine the files in a project, explain how they work, propose changes across several files, and run checks. It offers more control than a no-code builder but normally requires someone comfortable reviewing code.

Ways to use it

Ideas from real executive operations work. Take the ones that fit.

  • Maintain a small internal application with all of its project files available for review.
  • Trace a problem across several files and explain the proposed correction.
  • Turn a written feature brief into a proposed change and test plan.
  • Create project rules that remind the AI about security and content standards.
  • Review a contractor's or AI assistant's change before it reaches the live product.

Our take

Cursor makes sense for a developer or technically capable operator who maintains small custom tools. It is usually too technical for a person who only needs a simple form, tracker, or no-code workflow.
