Devin

Devin is positioned as the first AI software engineer, capable of autonomously planning, writing, debugging, and deploying software projects. Developed by Cognition, it operates in its own sandboxed environment with a full development setup including a terminal, code editor, and browser. Devin can handle complex engineering tasks end-to-end: reading documentation, setting up environments, writing code, running tests, debugging failures, and deploying applications. It maintains context across long sessions and can work on tasks that take hours. While the technology has generated significant interest, practical results vary depending on task complexity. Devin works best for well-defined engineering tasks and excels at tasks involving established frameworks and documented APIs.
