What it is
Windsurf is an AI IDE associated with Codeium, aimed at agentic editing in the editor rather than a side chat. The product has been through ownership and branding changes in public reporting. Confirm the current name, owner, and plans on the official site before you standardize on it.
Public plans have included a free tier and a paid editor plan. The current amounts and the brand on the pricing page were not re-verified for this seed, so the tier is marked unknown.
Why it ranks
- AI-native editor aimed at agent workflows
- Comes from the Codeium product line
Watch outs
