Windsurf

This week, over 250,000 Cognizant employees vibe-coded with tools like Windsurf in what will be the world’s largest AI coding hackathon. “At Windsurf we’ve seen firsthand how agentic AI expands who gets to build software — from developers to designers, analysts, and operators,” said CEO Jeff Wang. “This isn’t just about AI literacy; it’s about unlocking a new kind of creativity across entire teams.” Proud to partner on this event with Cognizant CEO Ravi Kumar S and team!

This Thursday, join Walden Yan and the Anthropic team for a deep dive on building async agents. There will be live demos, Q&A, and insights from building Devin. Register for the webinar here: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.pclau.de/NqoCd8

There’s nothing like being on the ground with enterprise leaders to see how they think about AI transformation, and this time that meant Brazil. Gathering over 22 decision-makers from Oracle, Banco Itaú, Bradesco, TOTVS Latam, and more, here's what they had to say about the Windsurf experience.

Following the White House AI Action Plan, it's never been more clear that legacy systems need to be addressed. Join us August 4th for "Windsurf for the Government", a live session focused on turning legacy code into mission-ready software, featuring: ➡️ FedRAMP® Windsurf overview ➡️ Live COBOL Modernization demo ➡️ Q&A with a Defense Industrial Base leader Save your spot below.

The White House AI Action Plan reinforces what we’ve known: the real challenge isn’t just AI capability, it's secure adoption.  Real transformation happens when the best tools meet people, agencies, and infrastructure where they actually are. Windsurf is already doing this in the private sector. But public sector modernization is where the impact will matter most and where momentum has lagged for years. 70% of federal IT spend still goes to Ops and Maintenance of old systems. That has hardly changed in a decade. That’s why we didn’t wait. In 2024, we began building a FedRAMP®, ITAR, and DoD IL5 compliant Windsurf, to bring secure AI to longstanding software challenges and help win the AI race against modern threats. There is still plenty of work to be done, but the pathway is clear. We’re bringing Windsurf into the hands of every federal developer: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/dWTmNcqa.
