When you're coding, the AI panel in Cursor is one of your most important tools. Of all the code generation features, the AI Pane is the one I use the most. Unlike the CMD+K prompt bar, which is best used for fast, local code generation, the AI Pane is best used for multi-step problem solving and provides a chat interface. This interactive chat window lets you talk with an AI assistant right inside your editor. Now you can get contextual assistance, which means you can ask questions directly related to your code. You can also reference specific parts of your code using Symbols, which we will tackle in this module. The advantage here is to get focused help on certain files or code segments. The AI Pane also supports visual context by allowing you to include images in your queries. This is helpful for UI-related questions or when you need to visually debug code. And much more we will cover in this module. With all these features, the AI Pane keeps you in flow, handling both simple fixes and complex coding challenges. It’s an all-in-one tool that simplifies the coding process and offers personalized assistance right when you need it.
