WhatAI Devin Desktop Forum Discussions
Devin Desktop is the active name for Windsurf, Cognition's agent-native development environment. It preserves the Windsurf IDE, Cascade, inline completions, extensions, settings, and local coding workflow while adding an Agent Command Center for planning, dispatching, monitoring, and reviewing multiple local and cloud agents. Developers can work directly in a full editor, organize agent tasks in Kanban-style views, share context and Git worktrees through Spaces, use Fast Context to locate relevant code, and connect agents including Devin Cloud, Devin Local, Cascade, and supported third-party options. Existing Windsurf users migrate through an application update.
