Windsurf is an advanced coding platform that blends a dedicated AI-assisted IDE with intelligent agent workflows to help developers build, refactor, and ship software faster and more reliably. It combines deep project context awareness with powerful coding automation features that assist with everything from autocomplete to full application generation and debugging.
Windsurf is a developer-centric software platform designed to streamline modern software engineering through integrated AI tooling and agent-driven workflows. At its core is the Windsurf Editor, an AI-native integrated development environment (IDE) that embeds advanced automation directly into the coding workflow, letting developers write, preview, and deploy code with fewer interruptions. Windsurf analyzes entire codebases to provide context-aware suggestions, intelligent autocomplete, and multi-step task execution through an AI agent called Cascade, which can generate, test, fix, and refine code based on natural language instructions or guided prompts. Available as both a standalone editor and plugins for popular environments like JetBrains, VS Code, and Vim, the platform supports full-stack development across languages with features geared toward both individual creators and large teams. Its enterprise edition adds advanced security, compliance, and deployment flexibility for regulated environments, backed by certifications like SOC 2 Type II and FedRAMP High, making it suitable for mission-critical software projects at scale.
