Codeium Windsurf: AI-Powered Coding Collaboration

Devin Desktop is a desktop command center for managing local and cloud coding agents. Formerly Windsurf, it combines multi-agent coordination with a full IDE so developers can plan work, delegate tasks, inspect changes, and ship without leaving their editor.

What it does

Devin Desktop lets engineers run multiple agent sessions from one surface. Its Spaces feature provides shared context and Git worktrees for agents working on different tasks, while board and list views organize sessions by status, pull request, space, or agent. The product supports agents including Devin Local, Devin Cloud, Codex, Claude Agent, OpenCode, and Cascade through the Agent Client Protocol.

The desktop application also includes an IDE with syntax highlighting, autocomplete, and debugging tools. Developers can read and trace changes made by agents, review diffs, monitor pull requests, and continue working locally or hand larger tasks to cloud agents. The vendor describes the product as the new name for Windsurf; existing plans, extensions, workflows, settings, and in-progress work are intended to carry over through the update. See the official pricing overview for current plan details.

Notable capabilities

• Multi-agent command center: Manage local and cloud agent sessions from a shared interface.
• Spaces and worktrees: Share context and separate Git worktrees across agents.
• Integrated IDE: Work with syntax highlighting, autocomplete, and debugging tools alongside agent activity.
• Review and delivery workflow: Track task status, inspect agent diffs, and monitor pull requests and CI states.
• Extensibility: Add tools and services through extensions, language servers, and MCP servers, including examples such as Slack, Linear, Notion, Figma, GitHub-related workflows, and language tooling.

Who it helps

Devin Desktop is aimed at individual developers and engineering teams coordinating several coding tasks or agents at once. It is particularly relevant for teams that want local development control while also using cloud agents for longer-running work. Teams can use shared context, collaboration features, centralized billing, and administrative controls; enterprise plans include options such as SAML/OIDC SSO and dedicated deployment, according to the vendor.

How it fits a workflow

A developer can define a task, start an agent session, and monitor its progress from the command center. Agents can write code, handle edge cases, run tests, and prepare pull requests, while the developer uses the IDE to inspect and debug the resulting changes. Larger tasks can be handed to cloud agents so work continues when the laptop is closed. This is similar to the workflow offered by Warp, where a development environment brings agent activity and code work together, although the products are distinct.

Strengths and limits

The main strength is consolidation: local agents, cloud agents, IDE tools, sessions, Spaces, and review activity are presented in one workspace. It also supports a broad model and agent setup through ACP and team-oriented administration. Practical fit depends on the agent, model, extensions, and integrations a team needs; the source does not establish identical capabilities across every supported agent or service. Pricing and usage allowances also vary by plan, with paid usage governed by included quotas and optional extra usage at API pricing.
