Windsurf

Windsurf Overview

Windsurf is the first agentic Integrated Development Environment (IDE) designed to create a seamless workflow between developers and AI. This innovative tool is powered by an AI that collaborates with the user like a copilot and can independently tackle complex tasks like an agent. The Windsurf Editor is built for optimal performance and user experience, keeping developers in a state of flow. It combines deep codebase understanding, advanced tools, and real-time awareness of user actions into a powerful, seamless, and collaborative flow. It also offers features like multi-file editing, command suggestion and execution, issue detection, and debugging.

Windsurf Highlights

• Flows: The Windsurf Editor is powered by an AI that can both collaborate with you like a Copilot and tackle complex tasks independently like an Agent. This allows the developer and AI to operate on the same state at all times, creating a mind-meld experience beyond just an assistant.
• Cascade: This feature combines deep codebase understanding, a breadth of advanced tools, and a real-time awareness of your actions into a powerful, seamless, and collaborative flow. It is the most powerful way to code with AI.
• Supercomplete: This feature analyzes what your next action might be, beyond just inserting the next code snippet, making coding more efficient and intuitive.
