San Francisco — June 2, 2026 — Cognition, a global leader in autonomous AI agents for software development (CEO and Co-founder: Scott Wu), today announced the launch of 'Devin Desktop', the next generation of Windsurf. As autonomous agents become central to software development, Devin Desktop integrates an agent command center with the editor already used by millions of developers, providing engineering teams with an environment to centrally manage and coordinate all AI agents.

Devin Desktop aggregates essential features for engineering teams into a single workspace. It includes a full-featured code editor, a command center for managing all AI agents working across the team's projects, and a new local agent with up to 30% improved efficiency compared to previous versions. It also ensures a consistent experience with the same Devin agent regardless of whether the engineer is working on the desktop, cloud, or command line.

The nature of software development is at a turning point. Previously, individual AI tools improved the efficiency of a single engineer, but the next generation of software development involves multiple agents operating in parallel across codebases, tasks, and environments. Devin Desktop is designed for this reality, providing a single interface for engineers to manage all agents—local and cloud—from a single dashboard. Furthermore, the newly announced 'Spaces' feature allows for grouping agents by project and sharing context across sessions, pull requests, files, and tasks.

Theodor Marcu, Head of Product Growth at Cognition, stated, "The challenge for engineering leaders is no longer whether to use AI, but how to manage the growing number of AI agents operating simultaneously across the organization. Devin Desktop is our answer to that challenge. It allows all AI agents from any provider to be coordinated, monitored, and instructed in a single environment."

Devin Desktop launched today with support for the Agent Client Protocol (ACP). ACP is an open standard that allows third-party or proprietary AI agents to run alongside Devin within Devin Desktop. At launch, it supports Codex, Claude Agent, OpenCode, and all other ACP-compatible agents. It also provides a management environment for proprietary or custom AI agents in regulated industries, ensuring visibility, control, and human oversight while sharing the same context.
