Overview

Windsurf is an AI-powered platform designed to revolutionize the coding experience by keeping developers in a state of 'flow.' It achieves this through two primary components: Cascade and Windsurf Tab. Cascade acts as an intelligent AI agent that deeply understands the codebase, anticipates developer intent, and proactively assists with coding, fixing, and planning up to 10 steps ahead. This allows developers to offload complex, repetitive tasks and focus on more creative and challenging aspects of their work. Windsurf Tab complements Cascade by offering a seamless and powerful code completion and action system, exclusive to the Windsurf Editor. It enables developers to perform various actions with a single keystroke, from importing dependencies to navigating code. The platform also boasts features like 'Memories' for context retention, automatic lint fixing, extensive MCP support for custom tools, and a plugin store for popular integrations. With capabilities like building designs from images and automating terminal commands, Windsurf aims to provide a comprehensive AI-driven environment for developers to do their best work, trusted by over a million users and thousands of enterprises.
