Monks and Windsurf Launch Dev², Aiming to Bring AI Flow to the Full Development Lifecycle
S4Capital’s Monks Technology Services is turning up the heat in AI-first enterprise development. The global digital powerhouse today announced the launch of Dev² (Dev Squared)—a full-stack, AI-powered development platform embedded in Monks.Flow, created in strategic partnership with Windsurf, the secure enterprise-grade AI engineering platform.
This isn’t just another AI assistant for coders. Dev² is a purpose-built orchestration layer that spans every phase of the Application Development Lifecycle—from discovery and architecture to deployment and iteration. The goal? To eliminate bottlenecks, boost cross-functional collaboration, and make AI-native development both scalable and compliant.
“With Dev², we’re giving enterprises the infrastructure to reimagine how engineering, design, and marketing work together,” said Adonya Ourshalimian, Head of Portfolio Strategy at Monks Technology Services. “Software development becomes a strategic lever—not just an IT function.”
Dev²: Where Developer Velocity Meets AI-Orchestrated Precision
At its core, Dev² combines Windsurf’s secure, no-retention AI development platform with Monks’ multidisciplinary expertise across product design, data-driven content, and digital transformation. Together, the offering promises a flow-state experience for modern engineering teams, backed by compliance-grade governance.
Dev² supports:
- Discovery & Planning (requirements, interviews, scoping)
- Design & Architecture (UX/UI, tech stack, hosting models)
- Development & Testing (code, QA, integrations, performance)
- Launch & Scale (UAT, deployment, monitoring)
- Iteration & Optimization (backlogs, user feedback, fixes, and enhancements)
What makes it different is AI embedded at every touchpoint, designed to shorten cycle times, increase code quality, and allow developers, designers, and stakeholders to iterate together—in real time.
“We’re not just making developers faster,” said Gardner Johnson, Windsurf’s Global Head of Partnerships. “We’re embedding AI into the entire digital fabric so organizations can move strategically and unlock entirely new solutions.”
Windsurf Brings the Guardrails, Monks Brings the Momentum
A key selling point of Dev² is trust and compliance—critical for enterprise adoption. Windsurf’s infrastructure is FedRAMP High-compliant with zero data retention, giving enterprises the green light to scale AI development securely.
For Monks, which already blends creative technology with data-rich content production, the partnership adds deeper engineering depth to its AI portfolio. It’s the kind of synergy where design systems, product engineering, and marketing ops stop operating in silos—and start working as one intelligent pipeline.
Strategic Advantage Through Developer Flow
Enterprise leaders increasingly see developer experience as a differentiator—and Monks is betting Dev² will become the new standard for agile, AI-powered delivery.
In practice, Dev² enables:
- Faster time-to-market for digital products
- Cross-team collaboration with AI-guided orchestration
- Compliant AI deployment with governance baked in
- Real-time performance monitoring and insights for ongoing optimization
That’s a compelling package for organizations trying to compete in always-on, AI-accelerated markets.
More Than a Platform—A Reimagined Workflow
Monks isn’t just shipping a dev tool—it’s offering a new way to work, where digital product innovation moves at the pace of AI. With Dev², the company’s broader vision for Monks.Flow as a unified AI ecosystem becomes clearer: data, design, development, and distribution—all fused through intelligence, built for scale.
For a company already racking up accolades—from Adweek’s AI Agency of the Year to Webby Production Company of the Year—this launch marks a deepening of its technical chops. And with Windsurf as its trusted AI platform partner, Monks now offers not only creative agility but enterprise-grade code velocity.
