Devin AI: The World’s First AI Software Engineer

Imagine having an assistant who can code, build websites, and create software. All you need to do is give a simple instruction to your “First AI Software Engineer.”

Devin isn’t here to replace human engineers but to work alongside them and make their lives easier. Think of Devin as a super-smart tool that helps engineers do their jobs faster and better.

Here’s what Devin can do:

• Code Whiz: Devin can write code based on your instructions.
• Website Builder: Need a website? Devin can create one for you.
• Software Savvy: Devin can develop software programs too!
• Fast Learner: Devin learns from its mistakes and gets better over time.
• Forward Thinker: Devin can plan complex tasks and make smart decisions.
• Tech Master: Devin can learn new technologies to tackle different challenges.
• Team Player: Devin works with engineers, sharing updates, taking feedback, and helping with design.

How Does Devin Work?

Devin uses special computer programs (AI algorithms) to understand what engineers need. When given a task, Devin uses its knowledge and problem-solving skills to complete the job. Devin also has access to tools engineers use, like code editors and web browsers.

Why is Devin Special?

Devin is different from other AI programs because it can adapt, meaning it can learn new things. Devin can also work on many different engineering problems and even train other AI models! By working together, Devin and engineers can achieve amazing things in the world of software engineering.

Devin’s Performance

We evaluated Devin on SWE-bench, a challenging benchmark that asks agents to resolve real-world GitHub issues found in open source projects like Django and scikit-learn.

Devin correctly resolves 13.86%* of the issues end-to-end, far exceeding the previous state-of-the-art of 1.96%. Even when given the exact files to edit, the best previous models can only resolve 4.80% of issues.

In short, Devin is an AI assistant that helps engineers be more productive and focus on the most challenging tasks. It’s a big step forward for software engineering, combining the best of human experts with the power of machines!
