Anysphere, the developer of AI coding assistant Cursor, is adding some code review and debugging skills to its portfolio with the acquisition of Graphite, TechCrunch reported Friday.

The output of AI coding tools often requires extensive debugging, something the company sought to address with new code review capabilities in Cursor 2.0.

Through the acquisition, Anysphere will be able to add new features such as Graphite’s “stacked pull request,” enabling developers to work simultaneously on multiple dependent changes.
