Nitpick: Cursor for Files makes approximately zero sense to me given what I see here.

Feedback:

Supporting an enterprise air gapped solution of this clearly has huge value. It really doesn't matter where the data is stored if the indexing / embedding is happening on your infrastructure.

Enterprises with compliance requirements are quite likely the types of clients looking for ways to save time searching through petabytes of data.

I think the phrase is apt, actually, but it's not perfect:

1. We have an embedded agent that can read, edit, organize, and take actions on your files. This means it can read almost any media type, which is why it's "cursor for files" even though "isn't _cursor_, cursor for files?". In other words, Cursor is "Poly for text" :)

2. We provide you with an "IDE", I.e. a file browser. However, unlike Cursor we actually built our engine rather than relying on an existing open source one like VS Code

Lastly, agree about the enterprise solution. All in due time for sure!

“Cursor” is a developer product. A non-dev is less likely to know Cursor-the-product or understand what it is, and will more likely think of a mouse cursor or a text cursor. So even disregarding whether the analogy makes sense, this is a strange slogan for a file browser that presumably is targeted at regular computer users. “ChatGPT for files” would make more sense.

Part of the issue with the "slogan" is Cursor/XYZ jank IDE is already "for files". "Cursor for data" seems slightly better in my opinion. You are clearly using "Cursor" as something to draw familiarity to, But I suspect the bulk of your future target market probably doesn't know what "Cursor" is.

		Agreed. We chose it for the Hacker News crowd.
