Cognition ships Devin Desktop with ACP, an open protocol for coordinating AI coding agents
Devin Desktop wraps Windsurf with a multi-agent dashboard — ACP, an open protocol, lets Codex, Claude Agent, OpenCode, and custom-built agents share context in one workspace via project-grouped 'Spaces' that persist across pull requests. Engineering teams running multiple AI coding tools can consolidate them under one interface today; Cognition has not published pricing, deployment terms, or independent benchmarks for the claimed 30% efficiency gains in the rebuilt Devin Local.

The question for engineering leaders is no longer whether to use AI — it is how to manage a growing fleet of agents working across their organisation simultaneously.

Why this matters
- → Multi-agent coordination moves from fragmented tools to unified dashboard.
- → Open protocol ACP lets teams mix commercial and internal agents.
- → Engineering leaders can now route work across heterogeneous AI systems.
