AI Coding Assistant
The AI code editor now known as Devin Desktop, built by Cognition. A full IDE with autocomplete and debugging, plus the Cascade agent that edits across files, runs tools, and works from named checkpoints. An Agent Command Center coordinates local and cloud agents. Existing Windsurf plans and pricing carried over to the rebrand unchanged.
AI Code Editor
A full IDE with autocomplete, syntax highlighting, and debugging, with Tab completions as you type
Cascade Agent
Code mode edits files, Chat mode answers questions, with planning, tool calls, and checkpoints
Agent Command Center
Spaces and a Kanban board to coordinate local and Devin Cloud agents in one place
Model Choice
SWE-1.6 plus frontier models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google on paid tiers (vendor-reported)
Desktop App, Import Your Setup
Mac, Windows, and Linux builds; import settings, extensions, and keybindings from VS Code or Cursor (vendor-reported)
Windsurf is now Devin Desktop, the rebrand from Cognition that arrives as an over-the-air update; existing plans, pricing, extensions, settings, and in-progress work migrate automatically, and only the name changed, so some menus and the JetBrains plugin still read "Windsurf." It is a full AI code editor, autocomplete, syntax highlighting, and debugging, paired with an Agent Command Center that coordinates local and cloud agents, and the built-in Cascade agent that can edit across your files. All figures below are vendor-reported and verified 2026-06-16.
Devin Desktop is a complete IDE, not a plugin: autocomplete, syntax highlighting, and debugging, with Tab completions and inline edits as you type. An Agent Command Center adds Spaces and a Kanban board to manage local and Devin Cloud agents side by side. You can import settings, extensions, and keybindings from VS Code or Cursor, or start fresh.
Cascade runs in Code mode, where it edits files, or Chat mode, for questions and suggestions. It plans with Todo lists, calls tools (search, analyze, web search, MCP, and the terminal) up to twenty times per prompt, keeps editor awareness, and writes named checkpoints you can revert to. Open it with Cmd or Ctrl plus L.
SWE-1.6 is Cognition's own fast coding model, free on paid plans; frontier models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google are third-party options, with smaller models to conserve quota. Usage runs on a quota that refreshes daily or weekly, and cost per message varies by model and task. Confirm current plans and quotas at windsurf.com/pricing.
Vendor-reported, verified 2026-06-16. Plan prices, usage quotas, and model lists move quickly; confirm current details at windsurf.com/pricing and docs.windsurf.com.

Devin's Coding Model
In-depth coverage of Windsurf and its rebrand to Devin Desktop: what it is now, how the Cascade agent works, the plans and models, and how it compares with Cursor. Researched with vendor documentation and honest trade-offs.
The AI code editor explained after its rebrand to Devin Desktop: how the Cascade agent, the Agent Command Center, the model choices, and the free and paid plans fit together.
Two agent-native AI code editors side by side: Windsurf's Cascade agent and Agent Command Center against Cursor's editor-first agent, with an honest read on where each one fits.
A walkthrough from install to first results: setting up the desktop app, importing your editor settings, opening Cascade, switching between Code and Chat modes, and reverting from checkpoints.

Important context for responsible AI adoption
Windsurf, now Devin Desktop, is a cloud-connected editor: your prompts, the code in your workspace, and the agent's actions are processed through the vendor's infrastructure and your chosen model providers. Team and Enterprise plans add centralized controls, SSO, and VPC options, and a .codeiumignore file lets you exclude files from agent context. Free and individual plans differ from organization-managed plans in the controls available, so review the vendor's current privacy and security documentation, and prefer enterprise controls before processing sensitive or proprietary code.
Coding assistants like Windsurf speed up output, but long agent-driven sessions can blur into overwork, and the ease of generating code should not replace rest, review, or real connection. If you are experiencing distress:
AI systems can produce plausible-sounding but incorrect guidance. For mental health, medical, legal, or financial decisions, always consult a qualified professional.
See the NIST AI Risk Management Framework for structured guidance on AI risk assessment.
Under GDPR (EU) and CCPA (California), you have the right to access, correct, and delete your personal data. AI coding tools can produce confident but wrong output, so treat the agent as assistive, not autopilot. Always review Cascade's edits and suggestions before merging, and validate generated code against your own tests and security review.
The EU AI Act sets transparency obligations for generative AI, including disclosure of AI-generated content. Organizations adopting AI coding tools remain responsible for meeting these provisions and for the code they ship.
