Devin
Autonomous AI software engineer
Engineering teams that want to delegate entire tasks to an AI agent
Founded 2024 · USA
Good Fit If You're...
Engineering team with more tasks than engineers
Devin works like a junior developer you can assign tickets to. It plans, codes, tests, and submits PRs — freeing your senior engineers to focus on architecture and review.
Greenfield projects with clear specifications
Devin excels when given a well-defined task: 'Build an API endpoint that does X with Y schema.' The more specific your spec, the better the output.
Automating tedious, repetitive development work
Migrations, boilerplate generation, test writing, documentation updates — tasks that are well-defined but time-consuming are where autonomous agents shine.
Startup that wants to move fast without a large team
At $20/mo for Pro, Devin is accessible to individual developers. The Max plan at $200/mo offers increased usage for power users.
