We’re excited to launch the next generation of Windsurf: Devin Desktop.
We’re building on the IDE foundation of Windsurf to introduce the command center for managing all your agents in one place.
The Agent Command Center
Millions of engineers use Windsurf and Devin. Devin Desktop puts them in one place, and makes the Agent Command Center the default surface: you manage every local and cloud agent from a single Kanban view. We’re also introducing Spaces, a new way to share context between agents while grouping sessions, PRs, files, and context.
Devin Desktop is not just for Devin
Devin Desktop launches today with support for the Agent Client Protocol (ACP), an open-source protocol that lets any compatible agent run inside any ACP-compatible editor. At launch, Devin Desktop supports Codex, Claude Agent, OpenCode, and any other ACP-compatible agents - including agents built by your team in-house.
Third-party agents get the same interface as Devin: they show up in the Kanban view, run inside Spaces, and share context with other agents. You organize and review their work the same way you would any Devin session.
Devin Desktop makes it easy to dispatch and monitor our array of agents from a single command center. We're excited to partner with Cognition to bring the agents Ramp engineers already use into one shared workspace, making it easier to jump between tasks, preserve context, and get more done.
At Harvey, we built our internal background agent, Spectre, to work across long-running engineering efforts while carrying organizational context for our legal research, engineering, product, and design teams to seamlessly collaborate. With Devin Desktop's support for custom background agents, that context now extends to every engineer's laptop, so humans and agents work from the same shared understanding instead of starting from scratch.
NVIDIA is joining Cognition's research preview for multi-agent support in Devin Desktop. Our engineers run multiple agents across complex workflows every day, and we're excited to help define how they share context and coordinate in one place.
We've been working closely with Cognition as a design partner on multi-agent support in Devin Desktop. Our engineers run multiple agents every day and Devin Desktop is the first tool that lets them manage all of them together, with shared context, from one place.
Devin Desktop gives our teams the same intelligent agent experience, but with the full permissions and flexibility of their local machines. For development work that benefits from a faster, more hands-on environment, it's a natural fit. It's snappier, it's accessible, and it fits the way a lot of our developers are working today.
The power of an IDE, exactly when you need it
Devin Desktop is a full IDE with an agent manager built in — not the other way around. The editor, extensions, keybindings, LSPs, and workflows you rely on are all there and backwards-compatible with Windsurf and VSCode.
Introducing Devin Local
We’re also introducing Devin Local, which is the successor to Cascade as our primary local agent.
The Cognition team has completely rewritten the local agent from scratch in Rust, supporting the same capabilities and settings as Cascade. Devin Local is up to 30% more token efficient and supports modern features like subagents.
For incremental migration, you can still continue to use the legacy Cascade agent through July 1st.
One Devin, every surface
We started with Windsurf and Devin as separate products. Now, Devin can run across your entire stack. Same agent, same context, regardless of where you run it:
- Devin Desktop: Agent manager with a full IDE
- Devin Cloud: The autonomous and long-running Devin agent running on its own machine in the cloud
- Devin CLI: The intelligence of Devin in your terminal
- Devin Review: Code review on every diff
Get started
If you’re on Windsurf, the update will arrive as a standard over-the-air update. Your plan, pricing, extensions, and other features remain the same: Devin Desktop is a new look for the product you already love.
New users can download Devin Desktop directly.
