Features
Cloud or local sessions
Devin runs in the cloud or on a local machine and keeps working on a task until the pull request is ready to merge.
Browser testing
Every session tests its own changes in a browser, checking sign-in and account linking before reporting results and passing checks.
Automations
Automations cover recurring jobs such as patching vulnerable dependencies, upgrading Node.js across services and fixing failing checkout tests.
Security review and Wiki
Security review and a Wiki sit alongside sessions, with per-pull-request analysis and recorded browser test runs.
Multi-repository work
A single task can explore authentication across three repositories and deliver the resulting changes as one pull request.
What users say
Pros
- Built a full booking system for a martial arts academy and shipped 30+ PRs in a month while holding a day job.
- Merged two open-source fonts and applied requested glyph edits, producing each revised font file for download.
- Handled machine learning, front-end, scripting and paper analysis work with no quality gap against Claude Code.
- Cheap model options run at about a fifth of premium model pricing, keeping heavy use affordable.
Cons
- Premium model use drains subscription credits fast, making heavy daily work expensive.
- Returned broken code riddled with errors after three hours on a single simple task.
- Pull request review comments show either potential bugs or flags, never both, forcing manual copying between tools.
- Struggles on large-context tasks because bundled models cap at a 200K window.
- Devin Desktop ignores panel layout customization, leaving the terminal panel stuck narrow under the editor tabs.
