Devin
NewThe first autonomous AI software engineer
What is Devin?
Devin by Cognition is the first AI agent marketed as an autonomous software engineer. Unlike coding assistants that suggest code, Devin independently plans engineering tasks, writes code across multiple files, uses the terminal, browser, and code editor, debugs errors, and iterates until the task is complete. It can handle real Upwork-style engineering tasks, set up development environments, fix CI/CD issues, and even learn new technologies from documentation. While not a replacement for human engineers, it can handle well-scoped tasks end-to-end.
