Devin AI Agent is an autonomous coding assistant developed by Cognition that behaves like a junior software engineer. It ingests a natural-language task—“add OAuth to our app,” “debug failing integration tests,” “ship a new API”—then plans, writes, runs, and iteratively fixes code inside a self-contained cloud workspace. Powered by a large language model augmented with retrieval, tool use, and continuous feedback loops, Devin searches documentation, edits multiple files, executes unit tests, and opens pull requests for review. It keeps long-term context through a vector store and reasons about dependencies to avoid regressions. Teams adopt Devin to shorten feature lead time, cut bug-fix cycles, and let human engineers focus on architecture and product strategy. Usage analytics and human approval gates ensure code quality while the agent learns organization-specific patterns, increasing accuracy with every sprint.
