Windsurf 2.0 Ships Agent Command Center and Devin Built Into Every Plan

Cognition released Windsurf 2.0 on April 15, the first major version since the company acquired the IDE and merged its own Devin agent into the product. The update is less about new editing features and more about a fundamental shift in how Windsurf thinks about the development workflow: from one developer working with one agent to one developer managing many agents at once.

Agent Command Center

The headline feature is the Agent Command Center, a Kanban-style dashboard that sits inside the editor and shows every active session. Local Cascade agents and cloud Devin sessions both appear in the same view, organized by status. You can spin up a new session, hand off a task to a remote agent, or swap between active workstreams without losing context.

Cognition’s framing: most developers now spend time on several things simultaneously, switching between a bug fix here and a feature there. The traditional single-thread model, one terminal, one chat session, forces artificial serialization. The Command Center is their answer to that.

Windsurf Spaces

Alongside the Command Center, Windsurf 2.0 introduces Spaces: task-based containers that group related sessions, open PRs, and files together. When you spawn a new Cascade or Devin session from within a Space, it inherits the relevant context automatically. Switching between tasks restores the exact view you had before.

The practical difference from a project folder: a Space is workflow-shaped, not file-shaped. You might have a “fix login bug” Space and a “redesign settings page” Space open at the same time, each with its own agents running.

Devin Is Now in Every Plan

The bigger commercial change is that Devin, Cognition’s cloud-based autonomous agent, is now bundled into every Windsurf self-serve subscription. Previously you needed a separate Devin subscription or enterprise access. Now you can delegate a task to Devin directly from a Windsurf session with a single click.

When you hand off to Devin, it runs on its own virtual machine with access to a browser, desktop, and tools. It opens a PR, runs tests, and reports back when it’s done or stuck. You review the PR inside Windsurf. If you want to continue the work locally, you hand the branch back to a Cascade session.

Cognition is giving new users up to $50 in extra Devin usage for their first session. Beyond that, Devin usage draws from your existing plan quota, with billing transparency added to the model picker so you can see the per-session cost before you delegate.

Adaptive Model Routing

The update also adds an Adaptive option to the model picker. Instead of locking a session to a specific model, Adaptive routes each step to the model that best fits the task and preserves quota. The model picker now also shows token-level pricing and a prompt cache timer in the context window indicator, so you can see exactly where your quota is going.

Context

Windsurf launched in late 2024 as Codeium’s rebranding play: pivot from autocomplete to agentic IDE. Cognition acquired the company in July 2025 and has been integrating Devin into the product since. The founders moved to Google as part of a separate $2.4 billion talent deal, leaving Cognition to run Windsurf independently.

Version 2.0 is available now for all Windsurf subscribers at windsurf.com.
