TOP FEATURES · 8
F01
Enterprise Context EnginedataLearns organizational architecture, frameworks, and coding standards from unlimited connected codebases (Git, Jira, Confluence) to deliver context-aware suggestions aligned with security and compliance requirements.
F02
Context-Aware Code CompletionaiUses current file, open files, terminal output, and repository history to generate relevant code suggestions tailored to developer workflow.
F03
Flexible Deployment OptionscloudDeploy as SaaS, on-premises, through VPC, or fully air-gapped with all code and data remaining inside your infrastructure.
F04
Zero Trust CompliancesecurityMaintains zero data egress in air-gapped or secure environments with no code leaving infrastructure, meeting Zero Trust security for mission-critical work.
F05
Centralized Control PlanesettingsOffers centralized visibility, granular access controls, policy enforcement, and audit trails across users, teams, and workspaces in a single interface.
F06
Multi-LLM SupportapiIntegrate with Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Meta, or Mistral LLMs, or deploy your own models on-premises or in your cloud without forced vendor lock-in.

TOP FEATURES · 11
F01
Cascade AI AgentaiCascade combines deep codebase understanding, advanced tools, and real-time awareness of your actions into a collaborative coding partner. It tracks file edits, terminal commands, and conversation history to infer intent and adapt in real time, helping you stay in flow without repeating yourself.
F02
Windsurf TabautomationA predictive multi-action completion system exclusive to the Windsurf Editor. Tab goes beyond autocomplete to move your cursor, import dependencies, and execute complex multi-step edits across files in a single keystroke.
F03
SupercompleteperformanceSupercomplete predicts your next likely action beyond simply inserting the next code token. It reads complex developer workflows before you explicitly request them and completes multi-step operations proactively.
F04
Inline CommandtextPress Cmd+I anywhere in the editor to generate, refactor, or transform code inline using natural language, without switching to a separate chat panel or breaking your current context.
F05
Terminal CommandapiPress Cmd+I in the integrated terminal to issue natural language instructions that run as shell commands. Bridges spoken intent and terminal execution directly within the IDE.
F06
Linter IntegrationsettingsWhen Cascade generates code that fails a linter check, it automatically detects and fixes the errors without manual intervention, ensuring generated code meets the project's quality and style standards.
WHO IT'S FOR
Who each tool is built for
Use cases and fit tags from each tool's own positioning. Match these to your context, not their marketing.
enterpriseDevelopment teams at large organizations can connect unlimited codebases (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Perforce) so the Context Engine learns organizational patterns, dependencies, and standards. AI suggestions then align with company architecture and security policies rather than generic patterns, reducing code review friction and maintaining architectural consistency across distributed teams.
enterpriseTeams in finance, healthcare, government, or other regulated industries can deploy Tabnine fully on-premises or air-gapped with zero code egress. The zero retention policy and end-to-end encryption ensure sensitive code never leaves organizational boundaries, enabling compliance with GDPR, SOC 2, CCPA, and industry-specific mandates while scaling AI assistance.
enterpriseOrganizations can avoid LLM vendor lock-in by selecting preferred models (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Meta, Mistral) or deploying custom models on-premises. This flexibility allows teams to optimize for cost, latency, regulatory fit, or specific use case performance while remaining adaptable to AI landscape changes.
Software engineers and developer teamsDevelopers plan and prototype locally with Cascade, then hand off complex tasks to Devin cloud with a single click. The Agent Command Center shows every active session in a Kanban view, local and cloud together. Spaces group all related agent sessions, pull requests, files, and context by project, so switching tasks doesn't reset the AI's understanding of the work.
