Windsurf Wave 5

Wave 5 introduces the Windsurf Tab feature, which uniquely captures a detailed global set of actions, leading to emergent behaviors that set it apart from other market solutions. This feature utilizes context from various sources, such as terminal activities and clipboard content, to inform its operations, similar to how Cascade is aware of actions within a text editor. The developers are committed to further investment in Windsurf Tab, promising future enhancements that will broaden its capabilities. Despite having Cascade, the team is focusing on Windsurf Tab because they consider it the leading passive predictive AI system, complementing Cascade, which they view as the top agentic AI system.
