Windsurf Adds Devin Review and Quick Review to Automate Code Verification

May 7, 2026 · Updated May 15, 2026

Windsurf, an AI-native editor from agent lab Cognition, launched Devin Review and Quick Review to automate code verification. These tools address the bottleneck where agents write code faster than humans can verify it. Quick Review uses SWE-check, a specialized bug detection model, to find bugs 10x faster than standard agents.

Bug detection speed: 10x faster
Specialized model: SWE-check
Local check tier: Quick Review
PR review tier: Devin Review
Pricing (Quick Review): Free

This update shifts code review to an integrated part of the Windsurf 2.0 agentic workflow. By embedding the Cognition SWE-check model in the editor, Windsurf provides a high-speed verification layer that mirrors Claude Code Ultrareview to catch bugs before they reach production.

You can now run Quick Review for instant local checks or use Devin Review for deep pull request analysis. If Devin Review identifies a bug, you can delegate the fix back to the agent with one click. Both features are available today in Windsurf 2.0 for all users.

Still wondering? A few quick answers below.

Quick Review is a high-speed bug detection feature built directly into the Windsurf editor. It is designed for fast local checks before a developer pushes code to a repository. Powered by the specialized SWE-check model, it identifies errors up to ten times faster than standard agentic review processes while maintaining high accuracy.

While Quick Review provides a fast local check for bugs, Devin Review offers a more comprehensive analysis of pull requests. It organizes code diffs intelligently and provides detailed explanations for any issues it finds. Additionally, Devin Review creates a direct path for the Devin agent to autonomously implement fixes for the identified bugs.

SWE-check is a specialized AI model developed by Cognition specifically for high-accuracy bug detection and code analysis. It is optimized to match the performance of much larger frontier models while running significantly faster. In Windsurf, this model powers the Quick Review feature to provide near-instant feedback on code correctness without the typical latency of general-purpose agents.

Both Quick Review and Devin Review are available starting today for users of Windsurf 2.0. These features are integrated directly into the editor environment, allowing developers to access automated code verification and bug detection without leaving their primary workspace. Quick Review is specifically highlighted as a free feature powered by the SWE-check model.

Windsurf addresses the review bottleneck by automating the verification of code generated by AI agents. Since agents can write pull requests faster than humans can review them, these new tools provide automated tiers of analysis. By using specialized models for fast detection and deep agents for PR reviews, the system speeds up the path to merging safe code.
