AI Coding

Windsurf

AI-native development environment built around agent-style coding across a codebase.

Overview

Windsurf is an AI-native IDE whose documented workflow centres on an agentic assistant that reads project context, proposes multi-step changes and runs through tasks with the developer reviewing the result.

It suits developers who want AI to drive larger units of work than a single completion, while keeping the familiar editor surface.
