release details
  • Devin integrates directly into development workflows via Slack, GitHub, and IDE extensions (beta), starting at $500/month for unlimited team access.
  • Teams can assign tasks to Devin via simple Slack tags, with the AI ​​handling tests and providing status updates upon completion.
  • The AI ​​assistant can handle tasks like fixing front-end bugs, creating backlog PRs, and codebase refactoring, allowing engineers to focus on higher-priority work.
  • Devin's capabilities have been demonstrated through open source contributions, including bug fixes for Anthropic's MCP and feature additions to popular libraries.
  • Devin went viral in March after he independently opened a support ticket and adjusted his code based on the information provided.
Why does it matter

Early Devin demonstrations seemed like the beginning of a new paradigm, but AI coding competition has grown dramatically since then.

It’s clear that the future of development will largely be a collaborative effort between humans and AI, and $500/m may be a small price to pay for companies outsourcing significant work.
