// about Windsurf
Windsurf is Codeium's AI-first code editor built around an agentic AI called Cascade that can autonomously read, write, and execute code across an entire project. Unlike assistants that respond to individual prompts, Cascade maintains awareness of what it has done and what remains to complete a task end-to-end. It's a direct competitor to Cursor, favoured by developers who want deeper autonomous coding capabilities.
