Devin
Devin is an AI coding agent that’s positioned as an autonomous AI software engineer rather than a simple code autocomplete or snippet generator.
In the cloud, Devin runs tasks end-to-end inside a managed environment with its own shell, code editor, and browser. The Devin CLI works the other way around: it’s a local coding agent that runs directly in the terminal against local files, shell, and credentials, and it can hand a task off to cloud Devin to finish in the background.
Devin can plan work, write and run code, browse documentation, debug and test fixes, and open pull requests, while keeping humans in the loop with progress updates and review points. Through Devin Review, it also reviews pull requests that humans open on GitHub and GitLab, where it organizes large diffs, explains the change, flags bugs, and proposes fixes.
Teams can connect Devin to collaboration tools like Slack and to issue trackers, such as Linear and Jira. With Devin Automations, a session can also start on its own from those events, as well as from GitHub and GitLab activity, incident alerts, recurring schedules, and custom webhooks, instead of waiting for someone to tag Devin.
Teams work with Devin via the web app, the Devin CLI, or the Devin API, or through Devin Desktop, a full IDE whose agent command center manages fleets of local and cloud agents from one surface. For larger backlogs, Devin can scale work across multiple parallel cloud agents, with a manager session delegating to a team of worker Devins.
