Devin
Devin is an AI coding assistant that can generate, test, and repair software snippets. It works with developers and freelancers, linking to tools like GitHub, Slack, Linear, Jira, and Notion to keep code work flowing.
About this tool
Devin acts as a conversational partner for software creation. Users describe a programming task, and Devin produces ready‑to‑run code, outlines a plan for larger projects, and can report progress in a concise status update. The system is built to respond to natural‑language prompts, turning high‑level ideas into concrete implementations.
The assistant also supports a feedback loop: after code is generated, Devin can execute the snippet, capture the result, and if errors appear, it will attempt to fix the problem and return corrected code. Integration points let Devin post updates to GitHub repositories, send notifications through Slack, and sync work items with Linear, Jira, or Notion.
What you can do
Code Generation
Devin receives a task description and writes corresponding source code, delivering a complete implementation that matches the requested language and framework.
Automated Testing
The agent can run the produced code, capture execution results, and present those outcomes so users can verify correctness without leaving the conversation.
Error Correction
When a test returns an error, Devin analyses the failure, amends the problematic sections, and supplies a revised version of the code.
Who is it for?
- A freelance developer needs a quick prototype for a client request; Devin writes the initial code and runs a test to confirm basic functionality.
- A small team tracks tasks in Linear; Devin plans the steps for a new feature, generates the code, and posts status updates to Slack as work progresses.
- An individual contributor encounters a runtime error; Devin examines the traceback, fixes the bug, and returns a clean version ready for commit to GitHub.

Frequently asked questions
What programming languages can Devin write code in?
Devin is designed to accept task descriptions and produce code in the language specified by the user, covering common languages used by developers and freelancers. The exact list depends on the model’s training data and may be clarified in documentation.
Can Devin automatically create pull requests in GitHub?
Devin can interact with GitHub through its integration, allowing it to push generated code to a repository. Whether it can open a pull request directly depends on the configuration of the integration and the permissions granted.
How does Devin report progress on a multi‑step task?
When a user asks for a status update, Devin summarizes completed actions, pending steps, and any issues encountered, delivering a concise report that can be shared in Slack or added to Notion.
