About Windsurf (Codeium)

Windsurf, created by the Codeium team, is an AI-native IDE with a powerful Cascade agent for multi-file editing. Codeium's free tier offers unlimited code completions across all major IDEs โ€” a key differentiator. Windsurf's Cascade feature provides agentic coding capabilities similar to Cursor's Composer, enabling complex multi-file changes through natural language instructions.
