Cursor is a closed-source AI-first IDE built on top of VS Code. It is genuinely good at predictive edits and is the most polished commercial product in this space. It is also opinionated about being your editor, which is a different choice than running an agent in a terminal alongside whatever editor you already use.
Your code stays on your machine, your prompts are visible, your model provider is your choice.
Use any editor. Run the agent in a terminal next to it, in a tmux split, or invoke it from CI.
You pay your LLM provider. The runtime is free, the Hub is free, the agents are free.
Open Studio and tell the builder assistant what you want. It builds the agent for you, connects your tools, and you refine it live on the canvas. It's vibe coding for agents, nothing to install.
Open StudioEngineering notes from the Digitorn team. No marketing, no launch announcements, no "10 prompts that will change your life". Just the things we write that we'd want to read.
