About Windsurf
Windsurf (formerly Codeium) is an agentic IDE focused on autonomous coding workflows. Its Cascade feature understands project structure, makes changes across multiple files, and executes terminal commands independently. Built on VS Code foundations, it offers a familiar interface with unlimited autocomplete on the free plan. Acquired by Cognition (makers of Devin) in late 2025, Windsurf is positioned for fully autonomous development workflows.
