About Devin
Devin by Cognition is the first AI agent that can independently plan, write, debug, and ship code across a full engineering task. Given a GitHub issue or feature request, Devin opens a terminal, writes code, runs tests, fixes bugs, and submits a pull request — without human intervention. A preview of the future of software development.
