What they are

Veed.io

Veed.io is a browser-based video editor aimed at content creators, marketers, and social media teams who need to produce polished videos without installing software. It handles trimming, subtitles, screen recording, and basic AI voiceover in one interface. The auto-subtitle tool is genuinely fast and accurate enough for most English-language content, though accuracy drops on accents and technical vocabulary.

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.
