Devin

What is Devin?

Devin is not just a coding assistant; it is a complete, self-sufficient AI that can perform the entire software development life cycle. It has its own command line, code editor, and browser to conduct research and execute tasks. Devin can plan and execute complex engineering tasks, break down problems, and learn from its mistakes. While human developers are still needed for supervision and complex architectural decisions, Devin can handle the grunt work of a project, such as setting up a new repository, writing an API, or fixing a bug in a large, unfamiliar codebase. It is designed to be a partner to a human developer, not a replacement.
