Atlantic vs Cursor:
From editor session to backlog execution.

Cursor is an editor that makes one engineer faster in the loop. Atlantic works the backlog out of the loop and hands back a reviewed PR.

Cursor

Cursor keeps an engineer inside an AI-native editor. The engineer chooses the task, steers the changes, and decides when the code is ready.

Assigned taskTeam-owned delivery
Point by point

Same repository. A different finish line.

The difference is not who can write code. It is who chooses the work, proves the result, and owns the path to review.
