AI-first code editor from Codeium with an autonomous coding agent — Cascade — that plans, writes, and executes multi-file changes on your behalf.
Why it is useful
Windsurf's Cascade agent operates at a higher level than autocomplete: it understands your codebase structure, can run terminal commands, and executes multi-step coding tasks with minimal input. Free tier is more generous than Cursor and includes access to frontier models.
