Cursive mediums are interfaces for thought, not generic chat replies.

This page shows the response surfaces Cursive uses across its tools. Instead of returning the same box of text for every job, each tool produces a medium shaped for that task: a source constellation, a diff, a worksheet, a panel, a map of attractors.

The philosophy is simple: AI should help you see, test, and move your own thinking. It should not flatten every problem into a summary, and it should not quietly take authorship away from the writer.

Not answers, but lenses

Cursive tools are meant to change what you notice. They should sharpen your own judgment, not replace it.

Medium follows task

A source-search should not look like a writing prompt. A challenge should not look like a summary. Each tool gets a response shape that matches its job.

Every result should create a next move

The point is not to impress you with output. The point is to make the next sentence, question, revision, or connection easier to make.

Tool: Go Deeper (question) · Medium ID: attractor

Surfaces the phrases and tensions exerting the most force in a draft, then points toward the deeper question underneath them.

The question your writing is circling

Are you writing about forgiveness, or about the impossibility of asking for it after someone is gone?

Where we see it in your writing

Try writing the conversation your father would have had at that kitchen table — not the one you wish happened, but the one that actually would have.
