Windsurf: Devin Review and Quick Review Available to All Users
WindsurfWindsurf has made Devin Review and Quick Review available to all users as of the v2.2.1017 release. Devin Review, developed by Cognition, is an AI-powered pull request review tool that reorganizes code diffs by logical flow, highlights potential bugs with a red/yellow/gray severity system, and surfaces an inline SWE-1.5-powered chat for follow-up questions. Quick Review brings agentic in-IDE code review to Devin Local users, letting them run fast automated checks on staged changes before pushing — with free SWE-check access and optional frontier models like GPT-5.5 and Claude Opus 4.7.

Devin Review: AI-Powered Pull Request Analysis
Windsurf, in partnership with Cognition, has released Devin Review to all users as part of the v2.2.1017 update. Devin Review is a standalone AI PR review tool that fundamentally changes how pull request diffs are presented and analyzed.
How Devin Review Works
Rather than displaying code changes in the traditional top-to-bottom diff format, Devin Review reorganizes the changes by logical flow — grouping related modifications together to make the intent of the PR easier to follow. The tool applies a three-tier severity classification to potential issues:
- Red: High-severity bugs that likely break functionality
- Yellow: Medium-severity issues worth investigating
- Gray: Low-severity notes or style observations
Each flagged issue comes with an inline chat powered by SWE-1.5, Cognition's code-specialized model, allowing reviewers to ask follow-up questions, request explanations, or explore alternative fixes without leaving the review interface.
Accessing Devin Review
Devin Review can be accessed in three ways:
- Navigate directly to
app.devin.ai/review - Swap
githubfordevinreviewin any GitHub PR URL (e.g.,github.com/org/repo/pull/123becomesdevinreview.com/org/repo/pull/123) - Run
npx devin-reviewfrom the command line
Devin Review is free during the early release period.
Quick Review: In-IDE Agentic Code Review
Quick Review is a new in-IDE capability that brings automated code review directly into the Windsurf editor for users of the Devin Local agent. It is designed to catch issues in local changes before they are pushed or submitted for human review.
Model Options
Quick Review supports three model tiers:
- SWE-check: Free, fast automated review for all Devin Local users
- GPT-5.5: Frontier-grade review using OpenAI's latest model (per-token pricing)
- Claude Opus 4.7: Deep reasoning review via Anthropic's Opus model (per-token pricing)
Important Scope Note
Quick Review is exclusively available for the Devin Local agent workflow. It does not support the legacy Cascade agent. Users still on Cascade who want in-IDE review must migrate to Devin Local to access this feature.
Availability and Access
Both Devin Review and Quick Review are now available to all Windsurf users with the v2.2.1017 update. Devin Review is free during its early release phase. Quick Review's SWE-check model is always free; frontier model options (GPT-5.5, Claude Opus 4.7) are billed at standard per-token rates.
This release continues Windsurf's push to integrate Cognition's Devin capabilities deeper into the IDE, following the Devin Cloud agent launch in Windsurf 2.0 (April 2026) and the Devin for Terminal CLI tool (April 27, 2026).
