Windsurf

Windsurf (formerly known as Codeium) is an AI-native coding editor developed by Cognition, Inc. that combines agentic AI capabilities with a seamless developer experience. Its flagship feature, Cascade, provides deep codebase understanding, real-time awareness of developer actions, and the ability to think multiple steps ahead to handle complex coding tasks. Windsurf is designed for both individual developers and enterprise teams, offering tools that automate boilerplate, fix lint errors, and keep developers in a productive flow state.

• Cascade Agent — An agentic AI that codes, fixes bugs, and plans 10 steps ahead; start by opening a project and typing your intent in the Cascade panel.
• Windsurf Tab — Intelligent multi-action tab completions that move your cursor, import dependencies, and more with a single keystroke; exclusive to the Windsurf Editor.
• MCP Support — Connect custom tools and services via Model Context Protocol; access curated MCP servers (Figma, Slack, Stripe, PostgreSQL, Playwright, Neon) with one-click setup in settings.
• Memories — Cascade automatically remembers important facts about your codebase and workflow to provide personalized, context-aware suggestions.
• Rules — Define and enforce coding standards and best practices that Cascade applies automatically across your entire development workflow.
• Lint Fixing — Cascade automatically detects and fixes lint errors it generates, keeping your codebase clean without manual intervention.
• Drag & Drop Images — Drop design images directly into Cascade to instantly build or update UI layouts matching your designs.
• Terminal Command AI — Use ⌘+I in the terminal to get AI assistance with commands without breaking your flow.
• Turbo Mode — Enable auto-execution of terminal commands so Cascade can complete multi-step tasks end-to-end.
• JetBrains Plugin — Cascade is available as a native plugin for JetBrains IDEs, bringing agentic AI to your existing development environment.
• Continue My Work — Cascade tracks your recent actions and can seamlessly pick up where you left off.
• Multi-Model Support — First-class support for frontier models from OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), and Google (Gemini), with full model availability on paid plans.
