Devin
Cognition's autonomous AI software engineer that ships tasks end-to-end.
What is Devin?
Devin is Cognition's autonomous AI software engineer that independently plans and completes engineering tasks in its own cloud environment. Devin 2.0 dropped the entry price from $500 to $20/month, making it broadly accessible.
Who is Devin best for?
Engineering teams that want to delegate well-scoped tickets, bug fixes, and migrations to an autonomous agent.
How does Devin work?
You assign a task and Devin plans, writes code, runs tests, and iterates in its own sandbox with a browser and terminal, billed via subscription tiers plus usage credits.
