What Windsurf does
Windsurf, formerly Codeium, is an AI-native editor whose Cascade agent keeps track of your actions and edits across files.
Our review of Windsurf
Windsurf's pitch is flow: the agent watches what you are doing and stays in sync rather than waiting for a prompt. In practice that means fewer explanations and more momentum on medium-sized tasks. It has a genuinely useful free tier and an autocomplete engine that supports a wide language range. It is a close alternative to Cursor and worth trialling both before committing.
