Our take
Pick Cursor if software engineers already in git who want an agent in the editor. Pick tldraw AI if react developers who want an agent on a whiteboard and will paste their own API key. Skip Cursor if non-developers, or teams that cannot send code to a third-party model API. Skip tldraw AI if people who want a hosted chat seat (ChatGPT) or a repo Agent (Cursor).
