About

Stonly is an interactive guide platform that allows customer success, support, and HR teams to create branching, step-by-step guides that adapt to user responses rather than presenting a linear script. Unlike static help articles or video walkthroughs, Stonly guides ask users questions and route them through only the steps relevant to their specific situation, making the guidance feel personalized without requiring one-to-one human interaction. This adaptive approach is particularly effective for products or processes with multiple user types, configurations, or support scenarios where a one-size-fits-all guide leaves too many users without the specific help they need.

About

Windsurf is an AI-native code editor developed by Codeium, designed to bring agentic AI directly into the software development workflow. Launched in late 2024, Windsurf introduced the 'Cascade' agentic framework — enabling the AI to autonomously read, write, and execute code across multiple files simultaneously, rather than merely suggesting single-line completions. The product became the second-most-discussed AI coding tool after Cursor, recognized for its aggressive pricing and deep IDE integration.
