Description
Windsurf (formerly Codeium) is an AI-native IDE built on VS Code foundations that goes beyond code completion with its Cascade agentic AI. Cascade understands the entire codebase through local indexing, suggests multi-file edits, runs terminal commands, debugs, and iterates until tasks are complete. It features Supercomplete for predicting entire code blocks, AI Flows for continuous context-aware collaboration, and Memories for improving suggestions over time. Free plan includes 25 prompt credits/month with all premium models. Pro ($15/month) adds 500 credits with SWE-1 model access. Supports 70+ programming languages and all VS Code extensions.
