Windsurf
Overview
Windsurf is an AI-first desktop code editor from Codeium that places an agentic assistant (Cascade) at the center of the workflow. It combines repo-aware chat, multi-file edits, and powerful tools to help you plan, implement, and refactor with confidence. Windsurf integrates fast tab completion, context management (Fast Context), Codemaps for visual understanding, and support for third‑party MCP servers to connect external services. It emphasizes productivity without sacrificing control: proposed edits are reviewable, reproducible, and grounded in your workspace. Built on a modern editor foundation, it supports common developer workflows including debugging, terminals, notebooks, and version control. Organizations can enable team policies, model selections, and usage controls, while individual users benefit from flexible BYOK model support. With cross‑platform availability and frequent updates, Windsurf is designed for developers who want an integrated, end‑to‑end AI coding experience in a familiar editor environment.
