Cursor lives inside your code editor. Brocco runs nine agents in parallel for everything that is not code: research, outreach, planning, content, ops. Same Claude under the hood, very different surface.
A multi-agent dashboard. Pick from 9 specialists, type one goal, watch them work in parallel with full JSONL audit logs. BYOK or hosted.
An AI-native fork of VS Code with a built-in agent that edits files, runs commands, and reviews diffs. Best when the work IS code.
We tried to write Cursor's description the way they would. They are great at editor agents; we are great at ops + content + research agents.
