Windsurf
Agent-first coding IDE, now shipping as Cognition's Devin Desktop
By Daily AI Tools · Last updated · How we track tools
Last confirmed: against windsurf.com. Information may have changed since then; check the vendor before you buy. How we check.
Compiled from public sources, not a hands-on review. We don't publish ratings or scores.
The editor ships as a desktop application rather than a plugin, so the agent tooling sits in the IDE itself instead of a side panel. Fast Context searches a codebase quickly, Supercomplete predicts longer edits, and Spaces shares context between agents working on related tasks. Multiple models are supported through the Agent Client Protocol. Pricing runs from a free tier to Pro at $20 a month, Max at $200 a month, and Teams at $80 a month plus $40 per extra seat.
- Works on:
- macOS, Windows, Linux
- Integrates with:
- Slack, Linear, Figma, Datadog
