Windsurf Rebrands to Devin Desktop: Big Updates & What It Means

Big news in the AI coding world! Windsurf has officially rebranded and evolved into Devin Desktop under Cognition (the company behind the autonomous AI engineer Devin). This isn’t just a name change — it marks a major shift toward becoming a true central hub for managing multiple AI agents.

What’s New in Devin Desktop?

• Agent Command Center as the new default view — A powerful Kanban-style dashboard to manage, monitor, and orchestrate local and cloud agents in one place.
• Devin Integration — Seamlessly delegate complex tasks to Devin (cloud agent) while continuing to code locally. Review plans, changes, and results directly in the IDE.
• Multi-Agent Workflows — Run several agents in parallel for faster development.
• Full IDE Experience Retained — All your favorite Windsurf features (editor, extensions, keybindings, LSP support) remain fully available.
• Neutral Agent Platform — Supports other agents via ACP (Agent Communication Protocol) and continues to work with multiple models.

The transition is smooth — existing Windsurf users receive it as a free over-the-air update. Your plans, settings, extensions, and projects carry over automatically.

This rebrand unifies the product under the powerful Devin ecosystem, positioning Devin Desktop as a complete command center for modern AI-powered development.
