What it does
Devin Desktop, formerly known as Windsurf, is an editor and command center for managing fleets of local and cloud coding agents. You provide instructions on what to build, and agents write the code, explore edge cases, and test details directly inside your workspace. It is built for engineers and software development teams who want to plan, review, and ship software with AI agents.

Agent Command Center
Provides a central workspace where you can manage, dispatch, and track multiple local and cloud agents across different tasks. It lets you monitor running sessions, check pull request statuses, and delegate work without leaving the editor.
Use caseAn engineer tracks multiple active coding tasks and reviews ready pull requests across different Git branches from a single screen.

Spaces
Coordinates context and Git worktrees across every agent you run. It ensures that background agents and local workers share the same understanding of the codebase and project state.
Use caseA developer redesigns an onboarding user interface while separate agents update API endpoints and fix authentication errors within the same shared context.

Supercomplete
Generates real time code predictions and inline suggestions as you write. It anticipates your next coding actions rather than just offering basic word completions.
Use caseA programmer writes new functionality and accepts inline logic predictions using the Tab key to accelerate drafting code.

Fast Context
Scans your repository to identify the precise files and code lines required for a task in milliseconds. It feeds relevant codebase context directly to your agent so it can answer queries and make accurate edits.
Use caseAn engineer asks where reconciliation is scheduled in a large project and instantly retrieves the relevant lines and files for the agent to inspect.
