About Devin

Devin, from Cognition, was launched as an autonomous AI software engineer that takes a task from Slack, Linear, Jira or its web app, works in its own cloud environment and returns a pull request. Since Cognition acquired Windsurf, Devin has grown into a fuller product: Devin Cloud runs agents remotely, Devin Desktop and a CLI handle local work with tab completions, and DeepWiki generates documentation for repositories. It uses Cognition's own SWE models alongside models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and others. Integrations cover GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty and more, and teams can schedule sessions or have Devin triage alerts. Pricing now starts with a free plan with a light agent quota, then Pro and Max individual plans and a Team plan with a base fee plus per-seat charges, with extra usage billed at API rates. It suits teams that want to hand off well-defined tickets and review the result rather than pair in real time.

Best for: Teams that want to delegate well-scoped tickets to a cloud agent and review the PRs.
