What this session covers

At Windsurf, we have a bold goal to accelerate the software development lifecycle by 99%. Every decision we make is focused on optimizing the hundreds of tasks developers handle each day. Through agentic workflows, foundational models like SWE-1, and bold bets on AI-native infrastructure, we’re moving beyond passive tooling. Join Field CTO Alex Laubscher as he shares Windsurf’s vision for an AI-native future and how agentic development is reshaping the alpha developer of tomorrow.
