Overview
Devin is a coding product from Cognition AI, the US company founded in 2023: an autonomous AI software engineer that plans and completes end-to-end development tasks in its own sandboxed workspace. It runs as a vendor-hosted web product rather than something you install, and the documentation lists an API alongside its cloud, CLI and desktop surfaces. No material change was found in this review. The main limitation is that it stays cloud-hosted with no self-hosted option recorded, and it is a paid product whose usage is metered by agent working time.
