I have previously used Cursor for both generating a full codebase and iterating on specific sections of code. In-line chat AI modifications are still working, but I am unable to generate a codebase. When I attempt to do so, the instructions modal opens, and I can select a directory for the project and a project name. However, when I click Next, the “Generating Project…” screen appears but does nothing. I have verified the validity of my OpenAi API key and also tried subscribing. Results are the same.

Hi @jason.eidg ,
Which version of Cursor are you using?
To get system information, go to:
Cursor > Help > About
Also, which interface are you using?
Ctrl + KCtrl + LCtrl + I (Composer)
In my experience, only Composer can generate and edit multiple files.
It is currently in Beta (you have to enable it in Cursor settings), but it is still pretty cool.
You may be using a previous version of Cursor which had the ‘New AI Project’ option?
If that is the case, that feature was essentially replaced by the Composer feature.
Here are some related posts about it:
Sonnet 3.5 is awesome for generating a base structure for a project (different to gpt-4 back in the day). Would love to use that, instead of rote copying all those generated files. Great starting point for MVP tests.
Based on image(s) would be extra perfect.
Sonnet 3.5 seems pretty much useless for in-file chatting right now (apply is very limited).
“New AI project” (or “Add bigger feature”) could be the perfect use case, it works on a broader scale like Aider (which seems now in reach), but …
yo could you fix the new ai project
or fix the links to the old version?
thanks, there’s like no point in using the ide without it.
also please make sure it works 100%, it should return functional running code without having to test it before depoloying to github.
Should be seamless from new ai project → github
the result should be products like (AutoGPT, etc…)
A simple demo of how to use Composer is here:

Here is a simple demonstration of what is possible in Composer, in case you were still wondering.
I entered this prompt in Composer:
I want to demonstrate the multiple file editing capabilities of the new Composer feature in Cursor (the fork of VS Code).
Plese create a folder called ‘TestHTMLSite’ that contains an index.html file and css and js folders that contain the code required to create a simple HTML website.
Add any simple JS functionality that you think would be cool.
