About Windsurf
Windsurf was an AI-powered code editor that originated as Codeium's rebrand in 2024, offering AI-assisted coding, chat and agentic features within a dedicated IDE, before Cognition (the maker of the Devin autonomous coding agent) acquired it in July 2025.
After the acquisition, Cognition continued developing Windsurf as a standalone IDE product alongside its own Devin agent offerings, eventually deciding to unify the two product lines under a single brand.
On June 2, 2026, Cognition rebranded Windsurf to Devin Desktop, delivered as an over-the-air update that made the Agent Command Center (Spaces, Kanban view, multi-agent management) the primary interface while keeping all classic IDE functionality intact. Existing plans, including legacy Windsurf Enterprise plans, continued working with unchanged pricing.
