This is the thing I don’t understand about businesses like Cursor. They take two other companies products (Claude and VS Code) and smash them together and sell the result at a loss. How is that much of a business when basically what you’ve got is something that could have been a VsCode plugin.
if valley had fresh ideas for profitable business, they wouldn't go full into ai in the first place. lol
big brained sfba ceos try to make reality in the image of scifi that they misinterpreted when they watched it 15 years ago, and go around building torment nexii. behold, disruption! (snow crash|ready player one|who knows what else)
You disrupt the market and wait until someone buy you out for huge woads of cash
It's something that literally exists as a first-party plugin for VSCode. The Copilot Chat extension has an Agent mode for vibe coding for half the price of Cursor.
Cursor has cursor agent.
Copilot has Copilot coding agent too (as distinct from Agent mode in Copilot Chat. Yes, they're different things and yes, I had to look up what the difference was)
Is copilot agent consume based or flat priced?
