- Local agents — Agent sessions running in your editor.
- Cloud agents — Devin sessions running on their own VMs.
Opening the Agent Command Center
You can switch to the Agent Command Center directly from Devin Desktop without leaving the editor.Working in a session
A few things make it faster to drive a session from the agent window:- Add to chat — select text inside a message transcript and send it to the input with the Add to chat button or
Cmd/Ctrl+L. - Duplicate session — branch off a conversation from the response footer to explore an alternative without losing the original.
- Rules in the @-mention menu — pull a manual-trigger rule into the conversation.
- Editable queued messages — a message queued while the agent is working can be edited before it sends.
Agent sidebar
The sidebar lists every session in the workspace and can be shaped to fit how you work:- Filter, sort, and group sessions per workspace.
- Right-click a session to rename, organize into folders, or start child sessions.
Notifications
Devin Desktop can send a single native OS notification when an agent session finishes or needs your input while Devin Desktop is in the background. One setting covers every agent — Devin Local and ACP agents alike — so you get one notification per session rather than one per surface. Notifications are off by default. Turn them on with thedevin.agentNotifications setting.
