FAQ
Do I need both Cursor and Copilot?
Not necessarily — Cursor is an AI-first editor, Copilot adds completion to your existing one. Pick the workflow you prefer; some devs use Copilot for completion plus a chat model for reasoning.
Which model is best for code review?
Claude is strong at reasoning over long, multi-file code; pair it with your editor's inline tools for day-to-day work.
