What is Windsurf?

Windsurf, formerly known as Codeium, is an AI-native code editor that combines the familiarity of VS Code with deep agentic AI capabilities. Its signature feature is Cascade, an AI agent that can autonomously execute multi-step coding tasks across multiple files, running terminal commands, reading documentation, and iterating on code until the task is complete. Unlike simple autocomplete, Cascade understands the intent behind your request and breaks complex tasks into actionable steps, creating files, modifying existing code, installing packages, and running tests in sequence. Windsurf provides standard AI code completions that are fast and context-aware, rivaling Copilot in speed and relevance. The editor includes a Supercomplete feature that predicts not just the next code token but your next logical action, like navigating to a related file or running a specific command. For teams, Windsurf offers codebase-wide indexing so the AI understands your entire project structure, coding conventions, and internal APIs. The tool supports all major programming languages and integrates with existing VS Code extensions, making migration from VS Code effortless. The free tier is generous, offering substantial daily completions and Cascade actions, while the Pro tier removes all limits and adds advanced model access.
