This Cursor AI Hack Is UNBELIEVABLE!
AI Summary
This video explains how to save money using Cursor AI’s tool calls more efficiently. Cursor AI’s paid pro plan includes 500 requests per month, each allowing up to 25 tool calls. Tool calls include actions like creating files, running commands, or codebase searches. The video demonstrates that normally each individual message or feature request uses one request, which can quickly add up.
The creator introduces a GitHub repo called “10x Tool Calls” that allows users to consolidate multiple tool calls into a single request, extending usage up to 25 calls before counting as one request. This setup involves placing specific files in the project’s root and configuring rules in Cursor AI.
Through demonstrations, the video shows how using this tool saves requests by batching interactions such as creating a snake game, a to-do app, a React project, and landing pages, all counted as one request instead of multiple. This technique can significantly reduce costs by making Cursor AI usage more efficient, especially for developers making multiple iterative changes.
Viewers are encouraged to visit the GitHub repo linked in the description to implement this helpful setup and save money on their Cursor AI subscription.
