Devin
Cognition's autonomous software engineer that takes on whole tasks.
Add Devin to your hut →Devin is Cognition's AI software engineer — designed to work autonomously on real engineering tasks, not just assist a developer. Given a task, Devin plans the work, writes code, runs tests, fixes failures, and opens a pull request. It operates in a sandboxed environment with its own browser, terminal, and code editor. Primarily aimed at engineering teams wanting to delegate routine or well-defined work to an autonomous agent.
At $500/mo it's positioned as a team productivity tool rather than a personal assistant. Most often compared to GitHub Copilot (which assists rather than works autonomously) and Claude Code (terminal-based, more affordable, stronger on complex codebase reasoning).
