W Windsurf

Windsurf is an AI-powered IDE developed by Codeium, featuring Cascade — an agentic AI system that can plan and execute multi-step coding tasks across an entire codebase. Unlike assistants that respond to individual prompts, Cascade maintains full awareness of your project structure, terminal state, and recent changes to autonomously implement features, fix bugs, and refactor code end-to-end. Windsurf also includes real-time AI autocomplete, inline chat, and deep integration with popular language servers, making it one of the most capable agentic development environments available.
