Windsurf is an AI-native integrated development environment (IDE) designed to keep developers in a deep state of focus and productivity. Formerly known as Codeium, Windsurf reimagines how coding happens by embedding intelligent agents and automation directly into the editor.

Key features include:

• Cascade AI Engine: A built-in, context-aware AI that understands your full codebase. It suggests multi-file edits, fixes bugs, recommends terminal commands, and helps automate tasks across the development lifecycle.
• Smarter Autocomplete: With features like “Tab to Import” and “Tab to Jump,” Windsurf’s autocomplete goes beyond line-by-line suggestions, offering deep code understanding and seamless navigation.
• Live Preview & Deployment: Developers can preview web apps and deploy to preview domains—all without leaving the editor or opening a browser.
• AI-Powered Code Fixes: Windsurf automatically resolves common issues like broken tests or linting errors with one click or no intervention at all.
• Workflow Integration: Its Model Context Protocol (MCP) connects with tools like Figma, Slack, and internal databases to enhance AI reasoning within real-world workflows.
• Cross-Platform Support: Windsurf is available as a standalone IDE and through extensions for VS Code, JetBrains, Neovim, Emacs, Chrome, Xcode, and more.

Windsurf aims to be more than just an AI assistant—it’s a complete development environment that helps you stay in flow by reducing friction, automating repetitive tasks, and deeply understanding your code and intent.
