Devin – The AI Software Engineer
Devin is a cloud‑native AI coding agent designed to work alongside developers, turning natural‑language tickets into working code, PRs, tests, and deployments. By integrating with popular tools such as GitHub, Linear, Slack, and many CI/CD platforms, Devin can create, review, and merge pull requests, refactor codebases, migrate data pipelines, and automate repetitive engineering chores without human intervention.
Key Features
- Full‑stack code generation – Write new features, fix bugs, or refactor large codebases from a simple description.
- Parallel cloud agents – Scale across thousands of engineers; each agent runs in an isolated container, ensuring safety and speed.
- Tool integrations – Native support for GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Linear, Jira, Slack, Asana, Confluence, and more.
- Self‑learning & fine‑tuning – Upload your own migration examples; Devin fine‑tunes to your code style, reducing errors by up to 40 %.
- Automated testing & CI – Generates unit, integration, and end‑to‑end tests, then runs them in your CI pipeline.
- Security & audit logs – Every action is logged, with role‑based access control for enterprise deployments.
- Cost‑effective – Pricing based on compute minutes, often delivering 8‑12× engineering time savings and 20× cost reduction on large migrations.
Typical Use Cases
| Scenario | How Devin Helps |
|---|---|
| Feature development | Turn a ticket like “Add pagination to the user list component” into a PR with fully tested code. |
| Bug triage | Automatically locate the faulty module, generate a fix, and open a review. |
| Massive refactors | Migrate millions of lines of ETL code (as demonstrated with Nubank) in weeks instead of months. |
| Legacy modernization | Convert Python 2 code to Python 3, update library versions, and rewrite APIs. |
| On‑call assistance | Respond to Slack alerts, generate hot‑fixes, and push them through the pipeline. |
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does Devin write production‑ready code? A: Devin follows your project's linting, testing, and style guidelines. All generated code is run through your CI pipeline before merging.
Q: How does Devin learn my codebase? A: By feeding it examples of past migrations or PRs. Devin uses these to fine‑tune its model, improving accuracy for domain‑specific patterns.
Q: Is my proprietary code safe? A: In the Enterprise offering, all processing occurs in isolated VPCs with end‑to‑end encryption. No code leaves your infrastructure unless you enable it.
