Windsurf is empowering non-technical domain experts to build applications without needing to rely on engineers, which changes the traditional workflow in organizations.

We built Windsurf because we recognized that AI was going to write over 90% of the software, changing the role of developers to primarily reviewing code.

We made the decision to pivot to building Windsurf within a weekend, as we felt we needed to change things really fast to scale the company.

Windsurf can modify existing codebases, allowing product managers to make changes directly without needing extensive coding knowledge.

Using both Cursor and Windsurf simultaneously can enhance your workflow, allowing you to work on front-end and back-end tasks more efficiently.

The mission of Windsurf is to reduce the time it takes to build technology and apps by 99%, which requires a lot of work.

Successful AI products like Cursor and Windsurf integrate existing large language models with external APIs and developer-focused tools, demonstrating the viability of the wrapper model.

Our earliest version of Windsurf was materially worse than GitHub Copilot, but we offered it for free, which attracted a lot of developers to use it.

Many founders are now using AI tools like Cursor and Wind Surf, with Wind Surf gaining popularity for its ability to index entire codebases, making it easier to work with large projects.
