For professional developers building software faster, Windsurf (Codeium) is an AI-native code editor whose Cascade agent reads your whole codebase, then writes, edits, and tests multi-file changes — now folded into Cognition after its 2025 acquisition.

Windsurf is becoming Cognition’s desktop environment for developers coordinating coding agents across local and cloud work. Its market presence remains established, though conversation has shifted from standalone editor comparisons toward the combined Windsurf and Devin product direction. Practitioners discuss model availability, enterprise monitoring, code review, and the move from pair-programming with one assistant to managing fleets of agents. The acquisition and subsequent Devin Desktop launch now frame Windsurf less as an isolated editor and more as the interactive development surface inside Cognition’s broader software-engineering agent stack.

Business Profile
Founded in 2021, Windsurf grew to 110 employees and raised $243 million while building the Codeium completion product and the Cascade-based Windsurf editor. Cognition acquired the company in 2025, gaining an established developer interface, enterprise customer base, and local coding workflow to complement Devin’s cloud agent. Windsurf continues as a product within Cognition, with its editor, review workflows, and local agent experience increasingly connected to Devin Desktop. Customer references include JPMorgan Chase, Dell, Broadcom, Zillow, and Anduril.
Agent Readiness
Measures how easily your agents can build on it — API, MCP, CLI, SDK, docs depth. Methodology →
Windsurf’s agent build-out combines Cascade’s codebase-aware editing with Cognition’s Devin runtime and review workflows. Cascade can plan and execute multi-file changes, while Quick Review and Devin Review inspect local changes and pull requests. Devin Local Agent brings the shared agent harness into the terminal, and the documented CLI provides a direct command-line surface for agent-assisted software work.
