Autonomous AI software engineer by Cognition

Devin is Cognition's managed AI software engineer for delegating engineering tasks to cloud and desktop agents. It can plan work, navigate codebases, write and run code, test changes, open PRs, review/autofix issues, and collaborate through GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Linear, Jira, Slack, and Teams. Current Devin surfaces include Devin Cloud, Devin Desktop, Devin CLI, Devin Review, Windows VM support, DeepWiki, Ask Devin, and team/enterprise controls.

About Devin

Devin is Cognition's managed AI software engineer for teams that want to delegate scoped engineering work to cloud and desktop agents. It can plan tasks, inspect repositories, write and run code, execute tests, open pull requests, review its own output, and collaborate through the tools engineering teams already use. The current product surface includes Devin Cloud, Devin Desktop, Devin CLI, Devin Review, Windows VM support, DeepWiki, Ask Devin, and API/automation workflows.

Devin is strongest when the buyer wants teammate-style delegation rather than an editor-side assistant. Cognition positions it for code migration and refactors, PR review and visual QA, documentation and system diagrams, scheduled chores, issue triage, bug fixing, CI failure repair, and multi-week or multi-repo projects. Devin integrates with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Linear, Jira, Slack, Teams, Datadog, Sentry, and other enterprise tools so agents can pick up tickets, produce PRs, and respond inside team workflows.

Pricing has moved beyond the old Team-plan framing. Current public Devin pricing lists a Free plan, Pro at $20/month, Max at $200/month, Teams at $80/month for the team plan plus $40/month per full dev seat, and Enterprise custom. This makes Devin more accessible than the older $500/month Team entry point, but it is still best evaluated as a managed delegated-engineering platform rather than a free/open-source coding agent runtime.

Pricing & Platform Specs

Pricing Summary

Devin offers a Free tier for evaluation, a Pro tier at $20/month for individual developers, a high-capacity Max tier at $200/month for power users, and a Teams plan starting at $80/month plus $40/seat/month. Custom Enterprise plans are billed based on Agent Compute Units (ACUs).

Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf AI IDE)

Windsurf is the legacy brand for Devin Desktop. Cognition transitioned the former Windsurf IDE into Devin Desktop: preserving the same VS Code editor foundation, Cascade agentic workflows, settings, and plan continuity alongside Devin Cloud, Devin CLI, and Devin Review.

freemiumTelemetry

Open-source AI software development agent

Open-source AI agent platform (formerly OpenDevin) for building developer agents that modify code, run shell commands, browse the web, and call APIs through a composable Python SDK and CLI. OpenHands runs agents in sandboxed Docker containers accessed via SSH, supports Claude/GPT/any LLM, and has solved 50%+ of real GitHub issues in software engineering benchmarks.

freemiumOpen Source

MIT-licensed autonomous coding-agent reference, now superseded for many new uses by mini-swe-agent.

SWE-agent is an MIT-licensed autonomous coding-agent reference from Princeton and Stanford researchers that takes GitHub issues and attempts fixes with a bring-your-own language model. Its agent-computer interface remains foundational for repository navigation, editing, and test execution. The README now says development has shifted to mini-swe-agent, which supersedes SWE-agent and is generally recommended going forward.

JetBrains-first AI coding assistant with next-edit autocomplete and an open-weight 1.5B model

Sweep is a JetBrains-first AI coding assistant that pairs a next-edit autocomplete engine with an in-IDE coding agent. Autocomplete watches recent edits to predict where you'll change code next; tab jumps between proposed locations to compress multi-file refactors. The agent stages multi-file diffs inside the IDE. A 1.5B open-weight next-edit model shipped in February 2026. VS Code and Zed users currently get autocomplete only.

Anthropic's agentic coding CLI

Anthropic's agentic CLI coding tool that delegates complex tasks to Claude directly from the terminal. Understands entire codebases via automatic context gathering, edits multiple files, runs shell commands, and manages Git workflows autonomously. Supports CLAUDE.md for persistent project instructions, integrates with VS Code and JetBrains, and uses Claude Opus/Sonnet with extended thinking for complex architectural decisions. Built for terminal-first developers.

Google Antigravity vs Devin — Agent-First Google IDE or Autonomous Cognition SWE?

Google Antigravity and Devin both help teams ship software with AI, but they are different product shapes. Antigravity is Google’s agent-first IDE and CLI platform: Gemini-centered Agent Mode, a desktop agent manager, and Google AI or Cloud billing paths. Devin is Cognition’s autonomous software-engineer product line spanning Cloud sessions, Devin Desktop (the Windsurf successor surface), CLI handoff, Review, and automations. Use Antigravity when you want an agent-first Google IDE/CLI desk. Use Devin when you want a Cognition autonomous SWE workflow for longer cloud or desktop agent sessions. Existing aicoolies Scores: Antigravity overall 88, speed 91, privacy 71, developer experience 89 (Score date 2026-09-05); Devin overall 79, speed 85, privacy 62, developer experience 76 (Score date 2026-03-25).

Codex vs Devin: OpenAI Agent Stack or Managed Autonomous Engineer?

Codex and Devin both promise agentic software engineering, but the buying decision is different. Codex is OpenAI's broad coding-agent stack across app, editor, terminal, cloud tasks, code review, SDK, and API-key automation. Devin is Cognition's managed autonomous engineer for delegating scoped work to cloud and desktop agents. Choose Codex for accessible multi-surface adoption; choose Devin when the team specifically wants managed teammate-style delegation.

Devin vs OpenHands — Managed AI Engineer vs Open-Source Agent Runtime

Devin and OpenHands represent two different visions of autonomous coding agents. Devin is a managed AI engineer experience with a hosted workflow and opinionated product surface. OpenHands is an open-source agent runtime that teams can self-host, inspect, and pair with their chosen models. This comparison weighs managed convenience against control, cost transparency, and engineering ownership.

Roomote vs Devin — Slack-First Cloud Coworker vs Autonomous Engineering Dashboard

Roomote and Devin are both cloud-first AI coding agents pitched at the 'replace or extend an engineer' end of the market, but they are designed for different organizational shapes. Devin from Cognition is the autonomous-engineer dashboard — a polished web UI where you delegate tasks to a single agent that plans, executes, and reports back. Roomote from RooCodeInc is the Slack-native team coworker, designed so PMs, ops, and founders can hand it work alongside engineers without ever opening a separate dashboard.
