The founders and the product
Michael Truell and the Cursor team placed an AI coding agent inside the developer editor instead of presenting a generic chatbot.
An agentic coding platform that turns complex software tasks into conversations. Cursor embeds an AI coding agent inside the developer editor so complex programming work can be handled through a conversation.
How the company sells the AI product
The commercial system links the editor experience to subscriptions, enterprise plans, and payment recovery for developer customers.
Stripe uses the term billions for recurring revenue and does not state a more precise public figure in the customer case.
What the public record shows

The customer case also says that half of Cursor customers use Link, connecting the developer product with a broad subscription and payment operation.
The reported milestone
