Devin & Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf)
Delegate whole tickets to an autonomous engineer. Cognition's coding agents. Devin Cloud is an autonomous engineer that takes tickets and works on its own cloud machine. On June 2, 2026, Windsurf was renamed Devin Desktop: the same IDE, now with an Agent Command Center for local and cloud agents. Devin Local replaced Cascade as its local agent, and there's a Devin CLI too.
