Chat-based AI software engineer that builds full-stack web apps and sites from prompts.
Devin
AI Coding & App BuildersDevin, from Cognition, is an autonomous AI software engineer that works in its own cloud environment with a shell, editor and browser, then delivers changes as pull requests. Tasks can be assigned from Slack, Microsoft Teams, Linear, Jira or the web app, and the product family also includes Devin Desktop (the former Windsurf editor), a CLI, Devin Review for pull request review and DeepWiki for codebase documentation. It is used mainly by engineering teams for migrations, upgrades, bug fixes and CI triage.

- Fits into existing ticket and chat workflows
- Strong at repetitive work such as migrations and upgrades
- Local and cloud work share one product

- Usage-based compute billing makes costs hard to predict on complex tasks
- Output still needs careful review by someone who can read the code
- Weaker fit for ambiguous feature design or fast prototyping
- Priced mainly for teams rather than hobbyists
Fit
Who Devin is for
Look elsewhere if: Non-developers and solo builders who want to create an app from scratch with hosting included should use an AI app builder instead.
