The Pair.

A desktop workspace for two collaborating AI coding agents.

A new take on the workflow.

The Pair coordinates an executor agent and a read-only mentor for coding and review. The maker positions it as a different approach to the AI coding workflow offered by Cursor; it is a separate desktop tool rather than a complete code editor.

What you can switch today.

Run and review coding-agent work using a separate multi-agent desktop workflow instead of the AI coding workflow in Cursor.

  1. Install The Pair and a supported coding-agent CLI on a supported desktop.
  2. Run a small coding task in a disposable repository and inspect the proposed changes.
  3. Compare provider costs, permissions and editing needs before changing your workflow.
Switching caveat. This replaces a coding-agent workflow, not all Cursor IDE and extension features; provider usage may cost extra. Workflow evidence

Where it falls short.

Requires supported agent CLIs and their individual setup; model providers may charge separately. It does not establish full Cursor editor or extension parity.

Cursor alternatives

Compare coding and code-review workflows on a disposable repository. A separate multi-agent desktop tool can cover agent orchestration without replacing all features of an integrated code editor.
