What Devin Desktop does
Devin Desktop combines an AI editor with management of local and cloud agents and subagents that each open their own pull requests, plus Fast Context codebase retrieval, Devin Review and next-edit prediction, with integrations for Slack, Microsoft Teams, Linear, Notion and Atlassian.
Windsurf is now Devin Desktop. The vendor states that Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf and that only the name and branding are changing, while the IDE, extensions, workflows, settings, in-progress work and existing plans remain. This directory keeps the windsurf slug so the URL stays stable, but the product described here is the current one: a full IDE plus a command centre for local and cloud coding agents.
Agent orchestration and the editor
Described on devin.ai's official pages and checked on November 1, 2026. Each point links to the page it came from; this directory has not tested the product. How we choose and verify.
- Devin Desktop is presented as a command centre for managing any agent, locally or in the cloud, from one place. (devin.ai, as of November 1, 2026)
- Sessions can run on the user’s machine or in Devin Cloud and move between them with the same context. (devin.ai, as of November 1, 2026)
- Long tasks can be split across Devin-coordinated subagents, each producing its own pull requests; the page shows an example of eight subagents and 16 PRs. (devin.ai, as of November 1, 2026)
- Fast Context is described as finding the exact files and lines an agent needs in milliseconds. (devin.ai, as of November 1, 2026)
- Devin Review lets users review every diff from where they code, and Supercomplete predicts the next edit. (devin.ai, as of November 1, 2026)
- Through the Agent Client Protocol, users can manage supported agents and frontier models in one place. (devin.ai, as of November 1, 2026)
Connected tools
- The page names Slack, Microsoft Teams, Linear, Notion, Atlassian (Jira and Confluence), Datadog, Sentry, Figma, Vercel and Stripe; GitHub is not named as an integration on this page even though pull requests are shown. (devin.ai, as of November 1, 2026)
Rebrand, download and plans
- The vendor states that Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf and that only the name and branding are changing. (devin.ai, as of November 1, 2026)
- Existing plans and pricing stay the same, the desktop download is listed for macOS, and Windsurf for JetBrains continues to be available for download. (devin.ai, as of November 1, 2026)
- windsurf.com returns an HTTP 308 permanent redirect to devin.ai/desktop, so there is no separate Windsurf site to compare against. (windsurf.com, as of November 1, 2026)
Best for
Engineering teams that want to orchestrate several coding agents alongside a traditional IDE.
- Agent orchestration
- AI code editing
Devin Desktop is catalogued for Developers under code completion and chat, and it appears in the Code Completion & Chat for Developers hub. It is for teams that want several agents working in parallel around a normal IDE: compare Cursor for an editor-first agent experience, GitHub Copilot for a GitHub-centred stack, Warp for terminal and pipeline automation and Bolt.new for prompt-first app building. Students and solo developers in Students get the same Free and Pro tiers, but the orchestration features are built for team workflows.
