The coding agent that won. $2B ARR in three years — the fastest B2B scaling on record. EPR ranks Cursor at the top of the AI Agents Directory.
Cursor's autonomous coding agents — the Composer model and Agent mode — ship multi-file changes, automated testing loops, and self-correcting code generation. Built by Anysphere. As of 2026, the fastest-growing business software company ever measured.
What it does
Cursor's coding agents complete software engineering tasks autonomously inside the Cursor IDE. Composer takes a goal — “add OAuth login to this app” — plans the changes across files, writes the code, runs the test suite, observes failures, and rewrites until the tests pass. Agent mode operates with similar autonomy on smaller, more interactive tasks.
The distinction from Copilot-style assistants is structural. Copilot suggests the next line. Cursor ships the feature. A March 2026 benchmark had Cursor building a data table component in two iteration rounds, versus three for Windsurf and five for GitHub Copilot.
The result is procurement-grade adoption. 70% of the Fortune 1,000 are Cursor customers. Anysphere crossed $1B ARR in November 2025 and doubled to $2B by February 2026.

- “Refactor the user service to remove the deprecated callback pattern.”
- “Fix the failing test in /tests/auth.test.ts.”
- “Migrate this entire module from CommonJS to ES modules.”
- “Add type annotations across this Python file.”
- “Build a data table component that supports sorting, filtering, and pagination.”
- “Review the changes in this PR and suggest improvements.”

EPR editorial verdict
Cursor is the coding agent that won. $2B ARR in three years — the fastest B2B scaling on record. The Composer model ships multi-file changes that actually compile. Devs vote with their hands, and they are typing in Cursor. If you are shipping code in 2026 and not on Cursor, ask why.
EPR rating: 9.5/10.
