Windsurf
Agentic AI code editor (formerly Codeium) built around the Cascade agent, now owned by Cognition (maker of Devin).
Last verified:
Windsurf is an AI-native IDE built by the team formerly known as Codeium/Exafunction, centered on the Cascade agentic assistant for multi-step coding, plus Tab autocomplete. Following a collapsed $3B OpenAI acquisition and a Google DeepMind licensing deal for its top talent in mid-2025, the remaining company and product were acquired by Cognition AI, maker of the Devin autonomous engineer, within days. Pricing and billing for Windsurf are now unified under Cognition's Devin/Windsurf plans page.
