Cursor AI Pro Goes Free for Students—A Game-Changer for Coding Education

Screenshot 20250507 100515 X

Parents, Teachers: Students can now harness the power of AI-driven engineering!

Why? Because Cursor AI, with the Cursor PRO plan, is now completely free for students.

Cursor offers a transformative coding experience in two ways:

  • Accelerated Development: Type just a few letters, and watch Cursor complete entire algorithms, functions, and boilerplate code seamlessly.
  • Agent-Driven Development: Simply prompt Cursor in plain English (or any natural language), and it instantly translates your instructions into code—you command, Cursor codes.

This isn’t about skipping learning to code because AI can do it for you.

Quite the opposite.

The real message here is clear: Get your hands on this future-proof coding tool now AND learn to code. Mastering coding skills enhanced by AI is the only viable path to excel in both corporate and research environments.

Pro Tip: Cursor automatically selects the best AI model for the given task. However, FYI, the current top AI models for coding are GEMINI 2.5 by Google, Claude Sonnet 3.7 by Anthropic, and o4-mini by OpenAI.

⭐ Microsoft brings “Everyday AI” to over 320 millions MS 365 users!

MSCopilotcreditincludedin365

Yesterday, I received a notification that my Microsoft 365 subscription now includes MS Copilot 365 AI credits.

It’s a smart move to integrate AI tools more broadly, especially when considering that Microsoft 365 has over 320 millions daily active users globally (as of 2024), and more than 2.3 millions companies using the “office” productivity suite.

According to the FAQ, the Personal and Family plans contains 60 AI credits.

What’s an AI credit? I quote: “A credit is counted each time you specifically request a Copilot or equivalent AI services action, such as generating text, a table, or an image.”

My experience with Copilot 365 so far has shown incredible productivity boosts in MS Teams and Excel. However, PowerPoint still feels like it needs refinement.

I’m very keen to explore specialized versions of Copilot like the Project Management Copilot to enhance team efficiency further.

Have you tried MS 365 Copilot?

What are your experiences with MS Copilot so far?

Let’s share our experiences.
