Windsurf

The Agentic AI Coding Environment

Windsurf is the first agentic IDE, developed by Codeium to create a seamless flow between developers and AI. It represents a shift from simple AI "assistants" to full "agents" that can understand, navigate, and modify complex codebases with deep contextual awareness.

Key Capabilities

• Cascade: A powerful AI agent that functions as a sophisticated pair programmer. It doesn't just suggest lines of code; it can plan and execute multi-step tasks across your entire project.
• Deep Context: Unlike standard editors that only see the active file, Windsurf understands your project's full architecture, including types, dependencies, and complex logic patterns.
• Supercomplete: An evolution of autocomplete that predicts your next move, providing multi-line completions and logical next steps in real-time.
• Action-Oriented: The editor can perform terminal commands, run tests, and fix errors autonomously, allowing for a "vibe coding" experience where the developer focuses on intent while the AI handles implementation.

Built for Professionals

Windsurf is built on the familiar foundation of VS Code, ensuring full compatibility with existing extensions and themes. It introduces specialized features like Memories, which allow the AI to remember specific project rules and preferences over time, making the collaboration more efficient as the project grows.
