Devin Desktop from Cognition is the AI-first code editor formerly sold as Windsurf (before that, Codeium's editor product). Cognition renamed Windsurf to Devin Desktop on 2 June 2026; plans and pricing were unchanged per its FAQ. It combines inline completions with agent flows that edit multiple files from natural language, with a freemium editor and Pro tiers for premium models and higher agent limits. Agent autonomy can produce large unreviewed diffs if prompts are vague. Editorial teams should verify fit against their compliance and workflow needs before rolling it out broadly.
