About Devin
Cognition’s Devin works like a junior engineer with infinite patience: assign it a ticket in Slack or Linear and it plans, codes in its own environment, tests, and opens a pull request. It shines on well-scoped work: migrations, bug fixes, test coverage. After acquiring Windsurf, Cognition wrapped an IDE around it. Ambiguous architecture work still belongs to humans.
