# Your first project

Open a project and start using Cursor's AI features to explore and build.

## How do I open a project in Cursor?

1. Open Cursor
2. Click **File** > **Open Folder**
3. Select the folder for your project

## How do I start using Agent?

Agent is Cursor's AI assistant. It can search your codebase, edit files, and run terminal commands.

1. Open the Agent panel:
   - **Mac**: Press Cmd + I
   - **Windows/Linux**: Press Ctrl + I
2. Type a request. For example: "Add a dark mode toggle to the settings page."
3. Hit send. Agent will explore your codebase, edit files, and show its changes.

You can also run agents from the browser at [cursor.com/agents](https://cursor.com/agents) using Cloud Agents.

## How do I review Agent changes?

Agent's edits are applied as it works. Review them in the diff view and reject anything you don't want.

## How do I give Agent more context?

Agent searches your codebase automatically. If you want to point it at specific files or folders, type `@` in the chat input. For example, `@auth.ts` or `@src/components/`.
