Cursor edits. Loom conducts.
Cursor is an excellent AI editor for the loop you sit inside. Loom runs the loops you step away from: six real Claude Code sessions planned, dispatched, and verified by a Conductor. Plenty of developers use both, often on the same day.
Two shapes of work
The inner loop and the long horizon.
The inner loop
This is Cursor's home turf: completions as you type, inline edits, chat next to code. When you are actively designing something and every second of feedback matters, an editor's immediacy is the right tool, and Cursor delivers it.
The long horizon
A migration touching eighty files, a test sweep, a dependency upgrade. Loom's Conductor plans the goal into tasks, runs six Claude Code sessions in parallel, answers permission prompts, recovers stalls and rate limits, and verifies work before it counts as done.
The handoff
Decide in your editor, delegate to the fleet, then review the result in Loom's full git graph. The two tools meet at the commit, which is exactly where review belongs.
Overlap
Where Loom covers editing too.
A real editor
Loom includes a CodeMirror 6 editor with inline AI autocomplete and AI diffs you accept or reject hunk by hunk, so quick fixes never force an app switch. See the editor.
A real workspace
WebGL terminal with tabs and splits, source control with the full git graph, auto-detected web preview of dev servers, markdown preview, and a file explorer, all in one window.
Not an IDE war
Loom does not ask you to leave Cursor. Brief a mission, let the fleet work, and keep your editor of choice open on the same repo the whole time.
Questions
Common questions.
Can I keep my repo open in Cursor while Loom works?
Yes. The fleet operates on the same working tree through real terminal sessions, so changes appear in any editor watching those files. Many people brief Loom, keep coding in Cursor, and check the mission DAG between tasks.
Why CLI sessions instead of an editor agent?
The fleet is six instances of the official Claude Code CLI running in real TUIs on your existing Claude login, with no API key needed. Loom adds the conduction layer on top: planning, dispatch, auto-accepted permission prompts, rate-limit recovery, and pooled account rotation. See the fleet.
What does Loom cost next to a Cursor subscription?
The app is free and Apache-2.0. The fleet uses the Claude login you already have, and the Conductor is bring your own key across 12+ providers or fully local. See pricing.
