About Windsurf
Windsurf is an AI-native code editor built to keep developers in flow by combining deep codebase understanding, agentic AI, and real-time awareness of developer actions. Its flagship feature, Cascade, acts as a collaborative AI agent that can code, fix bugs, and think multiple steps ahead. Windsurf supports individual developers and enterprise teams, offering both a standalone IDE and plugins for JetBrains environments.
- Cascade Agent — An agentic AI that understands your full codebase, executes multi-step tasks, auto-fixes lint errors, and continues work from where you left off.
- Windsurf Tab — A single-keystroke autocomplete that handles cursor movement, dependency imports, and more, exclusive to the Windsurf Editor.
- MCP Support — Connect custom tools and services via Model Context Protocol; access curated MCP servers (Figma, Slack, Stripe, PostgreSQL, Playwright, and more) with one-click setup.
- Memories & Rules — Cascade remembers important codebase and workflow details and applies custom rules automatically across sessions.
- Turbo Mode — Allows Cascade to auto-execute terminal commands for fully autonomous task completion.
- Drag & Drop Images — Drop design images directly into Cascade to instantly build or update UI layouts.
- Terminal Command Assist — Use ⌘+I in the terminal to get AI-generated command suggestions without breaking flow.
- Adaptive Model Router — Automatically selects the best AI model for each task, with a redesigned model picker showing pricing context.
- JetBrains Plugin — Brings the Cascade agentic AI experience natively into JetBrains IDEs.
- Enterprise Security — SOC 2 Type 2, FedRAMP High, and HIPAA compliant; supports hybrid deployment, SSO, RBAC, and automated zero data retention.
- Multi-Model Support — First-class support for every major model provider including GPT, Claude, and Gemini series models.
To get started, download the Windsurf Editor for Windows, macOS, or Linux, or install the JetBrains plugin. Sign up for a free account and open any project to begin using Cascade and Windsurf Tab immediately.

Windsurf just pivoted — and handed part of their brain to Google
Big shift out of Windsurf: they’re going all-in on enterprise AI, officially leaving the playground to focus on serious, scaled-up workloads. Founders Varun and Douglas, plus some of the R&D team, are heading to Google as part of what smells a lot like a strategic acquihire (though they don’t use th…
