Problem Definition
As AI coding assistants become routine, new problems emerge:
- No Session Tracking: AI collaboration sessions aren’t recorded, preventing learning
- Report Writing Burden: Work reports take an average of 30 minutes to write
- Knowledge Loss: AI conversations are one-time use, not reusable
- Team Skill Gap: Differences in AI utilization create productivity gaps
Market Analysis
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| AI IDE Market Size (2032 projected) | $37B |
| Cursor Users | Millions+ |
| Developers Using AI Tools | 84% |
Target Customers: Development teams using AI coding tools
Solution: CoCursor
CoCursor is a VSCode/Cursor extension that tracks and shares team AI collaboration.
Core Features
- Auto Session Tracking: Records all AI collaboration sessions automatically
- Semantic Search: Transform AI conversations into searchable knowledge
