What is Windsurf（現Devin Desktop）?

Windsurf (formerly Codeium) was an AI coding tool known as an AI-native code editor, but in 2025 it was integrated into Cognition, the company behind Devin, and is now offered as "Devin Desktop" (windsurf.com redirects to devin.ai/desktop). Devin Desktop is a desktop app that lets you plan, delegate, and review a group of local and cloud AI agents in a single screen (a Running/Waiting for review/Done session board) without leaving the editor. It is distributed for macOS and other platforms.

About "Windsurf（現Devin Desktop）"

What is Windsurf

Windsurf is an AI coding tool that was originally known as an AI-native code editor (formerly Codeium). In 2025 it was integrated into Cognition, the company behind Devin, and is now offered as "Devin Desktop". The official site (windsurf.com) redirects to the Devin Desktop page, and its positioning has shifted from a standalone Windsurf brand to part of the Devin ecosystem.

Toward Devin Desktop — managing local and cloud agents in one place

Today's Devin Desktop is a desktop app for managing a group of local and cloud AI agents in a single screen without leaving the editor. You can survey everything from planning and delegating tasks to reviewing and merging on a session board (Running / Waiting for review / Done). It extends the "collaborate with AI inside the editor" experience that Windsurf had, in the direction of bundling it with Devin's autonomous agents.

What Windsurf was (previously)

Windsurf was an AI-native code editor based on VS Code, known for code completion and an agent feature (Cascade) that performs multi-file editing with an understanding of context. In 2025 its management structure changed significantly, and it was ultimately integrated into Devin Desktop under Cognition.

How to use

  1. Get Devin Desktop

    Download the desktop app (for macOS and others) from devin.ai/desktop.

  2. Connect repositories and agents

    Register the repositories you want to work on and your local/cloud agents.

  3. Plan and delegate tasks

    Create a session and assign tasks to agents.

  4. Review and ship

    Manage progress on the Running / Waiting for review / Done board, then review and merge.

Features

01Centralized agent management

All your agents in one screen.

  • Session board — track progress with Running / Waiting for review / Done
  • Local + cloud — span agents on your machine and in the cloud

02Complete it within the editor

From planning to shipping.

  • Plan, delegate, review — execute without leaving the editor
  • Devin integration — operate it bundled with Devin's autonomous agents

How it differs from other AI coding tools

Today's Windsurf (Devin Desktop) stands out for its positioning as "a command center that bundles and manages multiple coding agents". It takes a different direction from tools that emphasize completion and editing within a single editor.
