Description
Devin is Cognition AI's autonomous software engineer that can independently plan, write, test, and deploy code. Unlike code assistants that suggest completions, Devin works like a junior engineer — it creates implementation plans, sets up environments, writes code across multiple files, runs tests, debugs failures, and iterates until tasks are complete. Devin 2.2 (February 2026) introduced computer-use testing, self-verification, and auto-fixing capabilities. The Core plan starts at $20/month with pay-as-you-go Agent Compute Units (ACUs), while the Team plan at $500/month includes 250 ACUs for engineering teams.
Features
- ●Autonomous Execution: Plans, codes, tests, and deploys without human intervention
- ●Self-Verification: Tests and verifies its own code before submitting
- ●Computer-Use Testing: Navigates browser and desktop apps to test features
- ●Multi-File Development: Works across entire codebases with proper context
- ●Auto-Fix: Automatically detects and fixes bugs in generated code
