Windsurf 2.0: Introducing the Agent Command Center and Devin in Windsurf
Windsurf launched as the first agentic IDE — a code editor where you and your agent work side-by-side on the same codebase.
Since then, agents have gotten much more powerful. The best engineers aren't pairing with a single agent anymore. They're running dozens of agents in parallel across cloud and local environments, on different parts of the same project. While the IDE was built for hands-on work, managing a fleet of agents is an entirely different job.
This creates a new problem. The more agents you manage, the faster you hit the limits of your own attention and working memory.
Windsurf 2.0 is designed to raise that ceiling. We built the Agent Command Center and brought Devin, our autonomous cloud agent, directly into Windsurf so you can do the work of a whole team without one.
The Agent Command Center
The Agent Command Center is a new surface inside Windsurf. It shows every agent you're running, local and cloud, in a single Kanban view, organized by status.
The Kanban view is an intentional design choice. As agents become more capable, the engineer's job shifts from writing code to directing work. You need to see what agent is working on what, what is blocked, and what's ready for review. The interface should reflect that.
The command center doesn't replace the IDE. It's deeply integrated with the existing Windsurf editor features, so you can always make last mile edits manually.
Windsurf Spaces
Spaces are how you organize work in the Agent Command Center.
A Space groups everything related to a specific task or project into a single view: agent sessions, PRs, files, and context. An "Onboarding Flow Redesign" space might have one local session prototyping the UI and two cloud sessions handling API changes and writing tests.
Spaces carry context. When you create a new session in a space, it inherits everything the space already knows about the project. When you return to a space, the view is as you left it.
Switching between spaces is switching between tasks, except now each task has a team of agents working inside it.
Devin in Windsurf
Alongside the new Agent Command Center, we're bringing Devin directly into Windsurf.
Devin is an autonomous software engineering agent that runs in the cloud. It handles complex tasks end to end — debugging, deployment, testing — and keeps working after you close your laptop because it has its own VM with a desktop, browser, and computer use.
With Devin in Windsurf, you can delegate work to the cloud without leaving your editor. You can work on a plan with a local agent and with a single click you can send it to Devin for implementation. Devin spins up its own machine and gets to work. You keep coding locally, or you close your laptop and grab a coffee.
When Devin opens a PR, you can review it right in Windsurf. You can check the diff, run tests, or hand it off to your local agent for touch-ups.
Our goal is to bring the whole software engineering cycle — planning, delegating, and reviewing — in one place.
Devin is included with every Windsurf plan.
