AI coding assistant with Cascade flow for multi-step autonomous development tasks.
Windsurf (formerly Codeium) is an AI-native IDE built on VS Code, featuring Cascade — an agentic system that understands your entire codebase, suggests multi-file edits, runs terminal commands, and acts as an autonomous coding partner. Acquired by Cognition AI (makers of Devin) in December 2025, it's evolving toward full autonomous development.
Cascade remembers your coding style and project rules — set them up early:
This project uses React with TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and
React Query for data fetching. All components should be
functional with hooks. Tests use Vitest.
Define repeatable workflows in plain English:
When I create a new API endpoint, also create the
corresponding TypeScript types, React Query hook,
and integration test.
Describe the goal and let Cascade handle the implementation:
Add dark mode support to the entire application. Create a
ThemeContext, add a toggle component, and update all existing
components to respect the theme.
| Parameter | Description |

| temperature | Controlled by the IDE (varies by task) |
