You can now run AI code reviews in Cursor and Windsurf with Bito’s IDE extension.

Bito’s AI Code Review IDE extension has been in open beta for VS Code and JetBrains IDEs for a few weeks. Developers have been using it to catch bugs, security gaps, and performance issues before they reach a pull request.

That same open beta is live in Cursor and Windsurf, two of the fastest-growing AI-native editors.

Cursor gives you the familiar VS Code feel with chat-driven coding and quick refactors. Windsurf is better suited for bigger, multi-repo projects with more automation built in.

With Bito plugged into both, you get AI reviews inline as you code.

Developers who ask “Can Cursor AI do code review?” or “Which is better for reviews, Cursor or Windsurf?” can finally try it themselves.

Availability in Cursor and Windsurf

Bito’s IDE extension for AI code reviews in Cursor and Windsurf is live in the same open beta that supports VS Code and JetBrains. If you’re already running it in those editors, the setup will feel familiar.

Here’s how you can get started in each:

Installing Bito in Cursor

  1. Open the Cursor editor and head to the Extensions tab.
  2. Search for “Bito” in the marketplace.
  3. Install the Bito extension and sign in with your workspace credentials.
  4. Once installed, you’ll see the Bito panel in your sidebar, and you can trigger AI reviews on any file or code block.

Cursor is built on top of VS Code, so the setup and usage flow are almost identical to VS Code extensions.

Here’s a quick demo:

Installing Bito in Windsurf

  1. Launch Windsurf and go to the Plugins/Extensions section.
  2. Search for “Bito” in the available plugins.
  3. Add the Bito extension, then log in with your Bito account.
  4. You can now highlight code, right-click, and run an AI code review inside Windsurf. Or run AI code reviews from the side panel.

Windsurf is designed for multi-repo projects and enterprise teams, so Bito fits right in by adding structured, categorized feedback to code reviews across larger codebases.

Same workflow across IDEs

Whether you’re using Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, or JetBrains, Bito gives you the same experience:

  • Highlight or select code.
  • Run an AI review.
  • Get feedback categorized into security, performance, style, and readability.
  • Stay in your editor, without waiting for a pull request.

This consistency is important because many teams use different IDEs across projects. Now, no matter which environment you prefer, you get the same reliable AI review workflow.

Vibe coding in Cursor and Windsurf with AI code reviews

Vibe coding is when you get into flow, move quickly, and let AI handle the repetitive parts while you focus on the real problems.

Editors like Cursor and Windsurf have made this way of working popular. Cursor gives you the speed and familiarity of VS Code with AI baked in, while Windsurf helps with bigger, more complex projects across multiple repos.

These are one of the best AI-native VS Code Alternatives.

The catch is that vibe coding often trades speed for quality. When you are flying through code with AI suggestions, small mistakes can slip in.

That is where Bito fits.

With Bito added to Cursor and Windsurf, vibe coding feels complete. You can write fast with AI and still have another AI checking your work in the background.

Security issues, performance concerns, and readability problems get flagged before you push code. You stay in flow and your codebase stays clean.

This balance is what makes vibe coding practical.

Cursor vs Windsurf in AI code reviews

Both Cursor and Windsurf come with native AI that can help review your code. You can type a prompt, ask the editor to check logic, or request improvements.

It works well for quick feedback, but anyone who has used these tools long enough knows they sometimes hallucinate.

Hallucinations show up in different ways: misunderstanding parts of your codebase, suggesting changes that don’t fit, or giving review comments that look convincing but fall apart when you try to apply them.

For small snippets this might not be a big deal, but across a larger project the risks add up.

That is why it helps to use a dedicated AI code review tool like Bito.

Instead of treating reviews as an afterthought, Bito is designed specifically to analyze your code, flag issues in security, performance, readability, and style, and give you codebase aware feedback.

Cursor and Windsurf make coding faster, Bito makes sure that speed does not come at the cost of quality.
