Codeium

Windsurf (formerly Codeium) — The most powerful AI Code Editor is an AI-powered IDE designed to accelerate development by predicting needs, fixing issues before they surface, and keeping developers in a flow state. It combines an editor, an AI agent named Cascade, memory of codebases, lint/autofix, and extensible integrations to build, iterate, and ship apps all within a single workflow. It emphasizes high productivity, proactive problem solving, and enterprise readiness with security and change management built-in.

Key Capabilities

• AI-powered editor that anticipates needs and accelerates coding, testing, and deployment
• Cascade agent that writes, fixes, and reasonedly plans 10 steps ahead to handle complex codebases
• Unified workflow: build, preview, deploy — without switching context between tabs
• Memory system (Memories) to remember important aspects of the codebase and workflow for continuity
• Linting and automatic fixes to reduce drift and maintain code quality
• MCP integrations to connect custom tools and services for extended workflows
• Server templates and easy add-ons (PostgresSQL, Playwright, Neon, Figma, Slack, Stripe, etc.) for rapid setup
• Terminal and design-focused features to keep you in flow, including drag-and-drop design, and quick terminal command recall
• Enterprise-ready with security, compliance, and analytics built-in
• Wave updates (Wave 6) bringing iterative improvements to the Windsurf Editor

How It Works

• The Windsurf Editor provides a single environment to write, test, and deploy code.
• Cascade analyzes intent and context, then codes, fixes, and reasons ahead of user actions to maintain flow.
• You can preview changes in real-time and deploy when ready, all within one interface.
• Memories help the editor remember code structure and workflows to improve subsequent interactions.
