Developer tool

C3 AI StudioDeveloper tool

Low-code and full-code workspace on the C3 Agentic AI Platform where engineers and business analysts design, build, test and deploy AI applications and agents, with an application canvas, a Visual Studio Code extension and natural-language dashboard generation.

C3 CodeDeveloper tool

Agentic application builder within the C3 Agentic AI Platform: describe an enterprise AI application in natural language and AI agents design, build, test and deploy it, with data pipelines, models, workflows, user interface and security controls generated.

Cursor

Application

Cursor AutomationsApplication

Scheduled and event-triggered Cursor agents: a rule fires on a cron schedule or a repository event, an agent does the work unattended, and the result comes back for review instead of waiting on someone to start it.

Cursor MobileApplication

Native iOS app for starting, watching and steering Cursor's agents away from a desk: work queued from a phone runs on Cursor's own machines and lands back in the same project.

Developer tool

BugbotDeveloper tool

AI code-review tool that runs automatically in the background on new pull requests, flags likely logic bugs with a low false-positive rate, and proposes fixes directly in the Cursor editor.

CursorDeveloper tool

Code editor built on VS Code that edits, refactors and runs a codebase from natural-language instructions.

Cursor CLIDeveloper tool

Cursor's agent in a terminal: the same frontier models and agent loop driven by slash commands, @-file references and shell escapes, without the editor, so it can be scripted or run over SSH.
