Can I use Chat feature for all my gen-AI needs?
For me, I use both Claude Web and Cursor for a few reasons. Claude Web has features that Cursor does not have yet. For example, you could generate various mermaid.js diagrams. I use it to generate sequence, class diagrams and user journeys. I also prefer Claude Web for “thinking” tasks, this could be both non-code and coding tasks. Non-code tasks would be learning new things, coding tasks could involve creating several prototypes and iterating on them until I understand the problem or solution. I don’t want to fire up an IDE every time I want something. The Web UI also feels more relaxed IMO. Cursor struggles with MD format at the moment. It may not escape backticks properly resulting in broken markdown files. This may be fixed soon, but I don’t want to be working around some of these bugs, I could just rely on Claude Web for it. Claude Web still (at the time of this writing) doesn’t have to ability to browse the internet. But if you’re working with a less popular library or an updated API for a popular library, Cursor can query the website and use that information. Cursor has an amazing ability to specify context both in times of files/folders and code snippets. It also makes it way easier to review and apply changes. This is an upgrade considering that you may have to rely on copy-paste if you just use Claude Web. These are some of my reasons, I see Cursor and Claude Web complement each other. A. If you can afford it, get both. B. You can still get only Cursor and use the free Claude Web offering, you may run into limits every now and then. If you can get away with it, just get Cursor. If you plan your usage, this could get you far. Personally, if I could only pay for one, I’d pick Claude Web because my current workflow involves a lot of visualisation as much as code. Happy to answer if you have specific questions. Edit: Here’s another relevant discussion on the topic. https://www.reddit.com/r/cursor/s/ydDYQay0gU More on reddit.com

How to share my cursor AI chat
I’ve had great experiences with Cursor AI chat, finding it highly efficient for my work. However, I’m unable to find a way to share these chat conversations with my friends, which would be valuable for our team collaboration. I’m wondering if there are any available methods to share these ... More on forum.cursor.com

Anyone using Cursor AI and barely writing any code? Anything better than Cursor AI ?
I use GPT-4 to do it all. Then copy and paste using VSC. It’s awesomeness. I’m crushing it. Stack Unbuntu, nginx config files, python, javascript, openai api, lots of css, postgres, and all the CLI stuff for managing web servers. More on reddit.com

Cursor: Open Chat command not working
Nothing happens when I click “Cursor: Open Chat”. However, I found that “Show Cursor AI Chat” can open the chat window as expected. But it doesn’t bring the code I have currently selected into the chat input box, which I think is what the "Cursor: Open Chat " command is supposed to do. More on forum.cursor.com

r/cursor on Reddit: Can I use Chat feature for all my gen-AI needs?
November 7, 2024 -

I subscribe to an LLM like ChatGPT or Claude for access to advanced LLMs for many purposes. My question is: can I replace that with a cursor subscription? Could I use cursor chat for all my LLM needs? Including things that have nothing to do with my code?

I think the relevant lines in their "pricing" info are this:

GPT-4, GPT-4o, and Claude 3.5 Sonnet are all considered premium models. You have 500 fast uses and unlimited slow uses each month for these models. Each request to Claude 3.5 Haiku counts as 1/3 of a premium request.

Is "slow" here like making a batch API call -- with unknown turnaround time, but within 24 hours?

r/ChatGPTCoding on Reddit: Anyone using Cursor AI and barely writing any code? Anything better than Cursor AI ?
April 11, 2024 -

It works so good for me I find myself just asking it to do things and it is what I want so much that I just apply that and go to the next thing. I still understand what it is doing and these are mini project so it is not too complex (.net blazor)

but it feel likes coding has changed forever to me and its a lot more fun being the rule of the approver and not having to think so much about syntax and specifics.

I don't mean to be a fanboy but I tried a lot of tools and it feels like Cursor AI is in its own level. If a tool can't look at my entire context in 2024 I am not interested. So I got rid of Copilot

Only thing I still use is web based chatGPT to get started with an idea and get the initial code... Maybe I can do that all is cursor AI as well and since it can read context after every question it won't need to recall what it is doing.
