Cascade
A coding agent that works with you, not just for you
Cascade's agentic capabilities unlock a new level of collaboration between AI and human, making it the ultimate partner for complex coding workflows.
FLOW AWARENESS
Dense reasoning over implicit user intent
Cascade tracks all your actions—edits, commands, conversation history, clipboard, terminal commands etc —to infer intent and adapt in real time, helping you stay in flow without repeating yourself.
Knows all your past actions
Always in sync with your flow
Proprietary models built to ingest this shared timeline
Infers your next move
File tracking
Cascade tracks which files you edit and view to stay aligned with your current task.
Terminal tracking
Cascade suggested edits take into account your shell activity.
Cascade | Write mode (⌘.)
Your recent terminal commands:
$ source ~/.bashrc
$ dwbs
$ gd
$ acimg
$ git checkout yash/login
$ git pull
Ask Cascade to continue your work
Leveraging the information from terminal commands, file edits, and clipboard activities, Cascade intelligently invokes tools or suggests actions that align with the developer's current workflow, streamlining the development process.
Write less. Get more done.
90% of code per user is written by Cascade
