Windsurf is an AI-native integrated development environment (IDE) and coding assistant that pairs large-language-model intelligence with traditional developer tooling.
Key highlights
- Agentic workflow – its Cascade agent understands multi-file context, fixes tests, and even executes terminal commands autonomously.
- Flow-centric design – features like Windsurf Tab and an upgraded terminal keep coding, preview and deployment in a single window.
- Broad ecosystem – a standalone editor plus plugins for VS Code, JetBrains and 40 + other IDEs.
- Enterprise-grade – built by Exafunction, Inc., with security, analytics and on-prem options already used by 1 000 + companies.
- Rapid growth – rebranded from Codeium in 2024 and surpassed one million developers within four months.
Whether you’re prototyping a side project or maintaining a massive monorepo, Windsurf helps you write, refactor and ship code faster while staying “in the flow.”
