Show HN: Windsurf - Agentic IDE
At Codeium, we've been building AI-powered extensions for a while
(we first launched our VSCode extension with autocomplete a little
over 2 years ago!), but we've always thought there would come a day
where we would hit the limits of what could be achieved within
existing IDEs, so we decided to build our own: Windsurf (yes, it's
yet another VSCode fork :) We've stuffed a lot of cool features
into Windsurf--a super fast autocomplete model, an inline diff
generation experience that feels truly native, but we're most proud
of Cascade, which is an evolution of the sidebar chat experience
that many other extensions have. Cascade can perform deep reasoning
on your existing codebase, access a vast array of tools that allow
it to run terminal commands and find relevant files, and it's
omniscient of all the actions that the user has taken independent
of invoking the AI. (You can for example, start implementing a
change manually and just ask Cascade to "continue"). We've been
using Cascade internally at Codeium on our actual production
codebase, and we're getting actual value from it. We hope everyone
here does too! You can find a bunch of demos of Cascade on our
website but I want to show one that I made myself using Cascade to
solve an interesting cryptography challenge:
https://youtu.be/LbYepFmVB20 Cascade was able to explain the
problem to me, install some libraries needed to interact with the
challenge, give me some pointers towards a solution, and implement
an attack that I described to it all by itself.
