Windsurf Wave 12: Devin features in Windsurf!
Windsurf · Aug 2025 · 3:10 · AI-annotated
The video is a release walkthrough that opens with a presenter naming the product and a Wave 12 title card, then cycles through cream title cards, each introducing an engineer who explains one feature before cutting to a screen recording of it in the editor. Pacing is steady at a moderate cut rate, alternating locked off pastel gradient interviews with blue violet gradient UI frames, and the signature move is the cream title card with thin dashed wavy lines that punctuates every new feature.
