What they are

Kajabi

Kajabi is an all-in-one platform where creators build and sell online courses, membership sites, coaching programs, and digital products. It combines a website builder, email marketing, checkout, and basic analytics under one subscription. Solo creators and small teams use it to avoid stitching together multiple tools. The trade-off is that each individual feature tends to be shallower than a dedicated specialist tool.

Windsurf

Windsurf is an AI-native IDE centered on Cascade, an agentic coding interface that reads your entire codebase and makes coordinated edits across multiple files from a single prompt. It ships proprietary models (SWE-1, SWE-1.5) alongside access to Claude, GPT, and Gemini, plus browser previews, deploys, and Devin cloud sessions for background development. Individual developers and teams use it as a full Cursor alternative. Note that the product is transitioning to the Devin Desktop name under Cognition, which may affect branding consistency going forward.
