Meet Devin AI, the world's first fully autonomous AI software engineer, developed by Cognition AI. Unlike tools like GitHub Copilot that assist developers, Devin plans, writes, debugs, and deploys code entirely on its own.

Key features include a built-in integrated development environment (IDE), code review, and wiki capabilities. It is already used by major firms like Goldman Sachs and Santander. The latest version, Devin 2.0, starts at $20 per month.

This AI agent has sparked both excitement and concern in the developer community, as it represents a leap toward more autonomous software development.
