Windsurf
Codeium's AI-native IDE with Cascade — agentic multi-file editing and terminal control.
Add Windsurf to your hut →Windsurf is Codeium's standalone AI IDE, competing directly with Cursor. Its core agent is Cascade — it reasons about your codebase, plans multi-file changes, runs terminal commands, and iterates until the task is done. Windsurf tends to be more autonomous than Cursor, which appeals to developers who want to hand off whole features rather than approve each individual edit. It's built on VS Code, so your existing extensions and muscle memory carry over.
The free tier is generous. Pro ($15/mo) unlocks higher usage limits and premium models. Most often compared to Cursor — the practical difference comes down to how much autonomy you want the agent to take and which UX style you prefer.
