Windsurf

An AI code editor with automatic context indexing that writes code to disk before approval, enabling real-time preview of AI-generated changes.

Windsurf is an AI-powered code editor that pioneered automatic context indexing for AI coding assistants. Unlike tools requiring manual file selection, Windsurf's RAG-based system automatically pulls in relevant files, handling approximately 200K tokens of context. It writes code to disk before user approval, enabling real-time preview. At $15/month with a 500-request cap on the base tier, it takes an opinionated approach to AI-assisted development.
