Windsurf – AI programming tools launched by Codeium | AI Tool Set

What is Windsurf

Windsurf is launched by CodeiumAI programming toolshas real-time collaboration functions, supports multiple systems, and provides powerful context awareness capabilities. Windsurf combines collaborative Copilots and stand-alone Agents to create a new collaborative agent called “Flow” that can deeply understand the code base and respond to developers' operations in real time. Through new features Cascade Windsurf not only optimizes chat interaction, but also supports users to freely and unlimited access to AI programming assistance, improves programming efficiency, and forms a strong competition with tools such as Cursor on the market.

The main features of Windsurf

• Flows (AI collaboration): Support developers to collaborate with AI like Copilot and Agent.
• Cascade (deep code understanding and real-time perception): Combining deep code base understanding, advanced tools and real-time perception of user behavior, it provides a powerful, seamless, collaborative coding process.
  • Full context perception: Provide relevant suggestions when running on the production code base.
  • Suggest and run commands: Provide command suggestions and execution, as well as problem detection and debugging.
  • Continue from where you left: Automatically infer the user's explicit behavior and continue working from where the user leaves.
  • Multi-file editing: Based on context awareness, tool integration and iterative problem solving, realize coherent multi-file editing.
• Inline command + follow-up operations: Press Cmd + I in the editor to generate or refactor inline code, using natural language.
• Codelenses: Located next to breadcrumbs, it supports users to understand or refactor the code with one click.

Windsurf application scenarios

• Large code base management: In large-scale projects, developers can understand and navigate complex code bases and perform efficient code editing and maintenance.
• Code development and reconstruction: Developers generate new code, refactor existing code, and optimize code structure.
• Problem detection and debugging: Use Cascade's problem detection and debugging functions to quickly locate and fix problems in the code and improve development efficiency.
• Multi-file editing and collaboration: Help developers maintain context coherence and improve collaboration efficiency in projects that require editing multiple files or modules at the same time.
• Rapid prototyping: For developers who need to iterate rapidly in prototypes, accelerate the development process and reduce coding time.
