Cursor

Cursor is a fork of VS Code built around AI. Chat with your codebase, generate multi-file edits, and ask questions about any code — all natively in the editor. Cursor's Composer feature plans and executes changes across multiple files, while its Tab autocomplete surpasses Copilot in prediction accuracy.

Gamma

Gamma generates modern, scrollable decks and documents from a single prompt or imported file, with AI-assisted design, layout, and formatting built in. Unlike PowerPoint-style tools, Gamma outputs web-native, shareable presentations with real-time collaboration. Free tier available; Plus plan from $8/month.
