Overview

Hero
Get Started
Windsurf, formerly known as Codeium, is a pioneering AI-powered Integrated Development Environment (IDE) engineered to transform how developers build software. As the first agentic IDE, Windsurf introduces the SWE-1 family of software engineering models to optimize the entire workflow—boosting efficiency, accuracy, and enabling an uninterrupted flow state. The Windsurf Editor anticipates developer needs, fixes issues proactively, and empowers seamless cross-platform application development. With AI features like Cascade agent, integrated previews, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) support, developers can build, iterate, and ship software faster and smarter than ever before.

How It Works

  • The Windsurf Editor: AI-driven IDE that keeps developers productive and anticipates coding needs.
  • Cascade AI Agent: Proactively codes, fixes, and understands project intent; manages complex codebases.
  • Windsurf Tab: Monitors command history, clipboard, and Cascade actions to offer highly relevant code suggestions.
  • Integrated Workflow: Enables building, iterating, and deploying applications without switching contexts.
  • Model Context Protocol (MCP) Support: Connects to external data sources (APIs, databases) for context-aware code suggestions.
  • Turbo Mode: Automates command execution to streamline repetitive tasks.
  • JetBrains Integration: Brings Cascade's powerful AI directly into JetBrains IDEs for native experience.

Use Cases

AI Code Generation & Refactoring
Automatically generate, refactor, and enhance code with deep contextual understanding—improving consistency, efficiency, and code quality for any project.
Cross-Platform App Development
Create applications for multiple operating systems from a single codebase, accelerating time to market and ensuring a smooth user experience.
Accelerate Developer Workflow
Offload repetitive tasks, maintain flow, and empower developers of all experience levels to focus on creative and challenging problems.
