# Devin Desktop

> Devin Desktop is an AI software engineer by Cognition that autonomously plans and executes complex engineering tasks including code migrations, bug fixes, PR reviews, and more.

Devin Desktop is the desktop application form of Devin, Cognition's AI software engineer, previously known as Windsurf before rebranding. It brings autonomous coding agent capabilities to a native desktop experience, enabling engineers to delegate complex, multi-step software tasks to an AI that can browse the web, write and run code, use developer tools, and ship pull requests.

## What It Is

Devin Desktop is a native desktop client for Devin, the AI software engineer built by Cognition. It gives individual developers and engineering teams access to an autonomous agent that can handle end-to-end software engineering tasks — from code migrations and refactors to bug triage, documentation generation, and scheduled QA — without requiring constant human supervision. The desktop app complements Devin Cloud and Devin CLI as part of Cognition's broader product suite.

## Core Capabilities

Devin Desktop surfaces the full range of Devin's autonomous engineering abilities in a local application:

- **PR review and visual QA**: Automatically identifies and resolves bugs, performs visual QA with full browser and desktop use, and organizes code diffs for review.
- **Code migration and refactors**: Assigns a fleet of agents to migrate repositories in parallel, supporting COBOL, .NET, Talend, legacy ETL, and more.
- **Issue triage and bug fixing**: Investigates Datadog incidents, intelligently routes Slack bug reports, and automatically fixes CI failures.
- **Documentation**: Auto-generates documentation and system diagrams for legacy codebases.
- **Scheduled chores**: Runs daily QA, generates release notes, and maintains documentation on a schedule.
- **Tab completions and inline edits**: Provides unlimited inline edits and Tab completions for everyday coding.

## Integrations and Ecosystem

Devin Desktop connects with a wide range of developer tools and platforms. The product page lists integrations with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Linear, Jira, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Confluence, Airtable, Segment, Asana, Notion, Stripe, AWS, Azure, Datadog, Databricks, Snowflake, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Sentry, and Google Drive. Devin ships PRs the way a team does — picking up review feedback and CI results to get each PR approved and merged. Teams can assign Devin tickets directly in Linear or tag Devin in Slack conversations to surface context or turn discussions into PRs.

## Audience and Deployment Model

Devin Desktop targets individual developers, engineering teams, and enterprises with complex, multi-repo projects. The product is structured around individual plans for solo developers and team/enterprise plans for organizations that need centralized billing, admin dashboards, and collaboration features. Enterprise deployments support dedicated VPC deployment, SAML/OIDC SSO, and centralized enterprise admin controls. The desktop app is available for download and is included across all plan tiers, with full dev seat access on team plans.

## Update: Windsurf Becomes Devin Desktop

The Devin homepage notes "Windsurf is now Devin Desktop," signaling a rebranding and product consolidation under the Devin and Cognition umbrella. The pricing page references SWE 1.6 as the latest model, with a blog post linked from the pricing page announcing its availability. This model is available for free use on paid plans alongside leading open-source models, and represents Cognition's current direction toward increasingly capable autonomous software engineering agents.

## Why It Matters

Cognition positions Devin as capable of handling the kind of large-scale, repetitive engineering work that consumes significant human engineering time. The homepage details a case study with Nubank — attributed to Cognition's own published content — in which Devin was used to migrate a multi-million line ETL monolith, with Cognition claiming an 8–12x engineering efficiency gain and over 20x cost savings on the delegated migration scope. Devin Desktop makes this autonomous agent accessible as a native application, lowering the barrier for developers to integrate AI-driven engineering into their daily workflow.
