Windsurf Editor

Windsurf is an AI-first code editor from Codeium that features Cascade, a deeply integrated AI agent that maintains awareness of your entire coding session context. Unlike simple completion tools, Cascade understands what you are trying to accomplish across multiple steps and can take autonomous actions like running terminal commands, editing files, and browsing documentation. Developers building complex features use Windsurf for its Cascade agent that can handle multi-step tasks autonomously: it can understand a task description, edit the relevant files, run tests, see the results, and iterate until the task is complete without constant human guidance. Windsurf positions itself as a direct Cursor competitor with the advantages of Codeium's free tier for base features and the Cascade agent for agentic workflows. Its Flow paradigm keeps the AI aware of all developer actions to provide more contextually relevant assistance.
