Devin

Devin is an autonomous AI software engineer that can handle complex engineering tasks, from writing and deploying code to managing entire development projects. Developed by Cognition, Devin was introduced on March 12, 2024, setting a new benchmark in the SWE-bench coding benchmark.

Key features:
- Autonomously writes and deploys code across different programming languages
- Manages end-to-end development projects, from understanding requirements to deployment
- Finds and fixes bugs within codebases
- Integrates with standard developer tools, operating within a sandboxed environment
- Learns and adapts from each project, improving efficiency and expanding capabilities over time
- Collaborates with users in real-time, reporting progress and accepting feedback
- Contributes to open-source projects by addressing bugs and feature requests
- Successfully completed real-world jobs, demonstrating its effectiveness in actual development scenarios

How it works:
Devin operates as a web application, providing a user-friendly interface for engineers to interact with. Users assign tasks to Devin, which it completes autonomously or with guidance. The AI reports on its progress in real-time, allowing for a collaborative workflow where users can provide feedback and make design choices as needed.

Integrations:
Devin integrates with common developer tools and platforms, such as code editors, shell environments, and deployment services like Netlify, indicating broad compatibility with the existing software development ecosystem.

Use of AI:
Devin's capabilities suggest the use of advanced generative AI technologies, although the specific AI foundation model or LLM is not explicitly mentioned.

How to access:
Devin is currently available in early access, with plans to expand capacity. Interested users can join a waitlist or contact Cognition directly for more information on incorporating Devin into their engineering workflows.
