Release Notes

• We’ve launched the DeepWiki MCP server, providing programmatic access to DeepWiki’s repository documentation and search capabilities.
• Connect your AI applications to DeepWiki using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) standard.
• Free, no authentication required.

• At multiple points in each session, Devin will express its confidence:
  • At the start of the session
  • After creating a plan
  • Whenever it answers a question about the code
• When Devin doesn’t have 🟢 confidence (i.e., 🟡 or 🔴), it will now wait for user approval before proceeding with its plan. If it’s 🟢, it proceeds automatically.
• You can still send feedback and adjust Devin’s plan even after it has started working.
• Our data shows that Confidence Scores are highly correlated with success.

• Easily get Confidence Scores for multiple issues at once directly through our Linear integration and Jira integration.
• This occurs without starting actual Devin sessions, allowing you to score as many issues as you’d like and prioritize having Devin work on the highest-confidence tasks.

• The codebase understanding and intelligence features from DeepWiki are now directly integrated into Devin.
• At any point during a session, ask a question, and Devin will provide a DeepWiki-like answer, complete with code citations.
• Devin auto-detects when it should scan your codebase, but you can also trigger this manually using !ask.

• Add the “Devin” label to a Jira issue, or bulk add to multiple issues to begin issue scoping in parallel.
• Devin knows your codebase and will comment on each ticket in minutes with a summary of relevant code, implementation plan and open questions.
• Use Devin’s analysis to get up to speed. Devin has the self-awareness to report 🔴/🟠/🟢 confidence estimates too.

• Devin will now link to Devin Spaces in its comment on Jira and Linear - use Spaces to ask follow up questions and further plan out the task.
• Start a Devin session directly from the plan you create in Devin Spaces!

• Use Cmd+A to multi-select Linear tickets. Then, add the Devin label to start ticket scoping in parallel.
• Devin knows your codebase and will comment on each ticket in minutes with:
  • A summary of the current code
  • An implementation plan
  • Any edge cases or questions that need your attention
• Use Devin’s analysis to get up to speed, or just click the provided link to have Devin take a first pass at the PR. Devin has the self-awareness to report 🔴/🟠/🟢 confidence estimates too.

​

Devin IDE

• Click “Review Changes” for a diff view of file edits so far. You’re in a fully featured IDE, so you can open files in new tabs, jump to definition, etc.

• Devin may send citations or references to code. Clicking on these will deep link into VSCode!
• Click “Follow Devin” to follow Devin’s edits in real time. Click stop to take over and use the IDE yourself.
• Use ⌘K to generate terminal commands from natural language.

• Use ⌘I for rapid responses to questions or rapid file edits.

• All of Devin’s terminals, commands, and their outputs are available in VSCode. Toggle from read-only to writable to run your own commands.

• Test and fix changes end to end without leaving the Devin webapp. Ask Devin to run your app locally, or take over and run commands yourself. Then use Devin’s browser to test the local build yourself!

​

Interactive Planner

• Devin rapidly scans relevant files and code snippets to generate an initial plan. This initial plan and subsequent messages may now cite code snippets and files, and clicking on these citations now deep links into the Devin IDE!
• For more complex tasks, click “Wait for my approval” so that Devin waits for your feedback on its full plan. Brainstorm and explore the codebase together in VSCode to refine the plan.
  • By default, if you don’t click “Wait for my approval”, Devin waits 30 seconds for your input before proceeding. You can always change the default behavior in Settings > Customization.

​

Ask Devin

• 🔎 Ask Devin -> Devin: Ask Devin to make code changes after using Ask Devin to find the relevant code. Use Cmd + Enter to quickly construct a high quality Devin prompt using your search context.
• 🔬 Deep Mode: Toggle on deep mode for complex questions that require extended research.
• 📓 DeepWiki is used by Ask Devin to better understand your codebase, and may help you as well! It contains architecture diagrams, links to sources, and more. Check it out at the bottom of your sidebar.
• 💬 Ask follow up questions - you can scroll up/down or use the component on the right (appears on hover) to navigate your history
• 🔗 Share your Ask Devin results: Try sharing a link to your search results when discussing code with your co-workers
• 💡 Tip: For now, we recommend setting up a Site Search Shortcut in Chrome so you can more quickly start Ask Devin queries from your browser address bar. Just go to chrome://settings/searchEngines and add a site search with url http://app.devin.ai/search?prompt=%s

• Connect multiple GitHub orgs to the same Devin account - you can easily set this up in Settings > Organization Integrations. Let us know if you’d like this enabled for your team.
• Manage all of Devin’s tasks in the new Session Manager. Easily filter for sessions by PR status, users, playbooks and export session data.
• Tag sessions with custom tags that you can filter by in the Session Manager. Click on the 3 dots icon of the session page to “Edit Tags”.

• Customize when Devin auto-closes PRs due to inactivity under Settings > Customizations.
• Easily tag @file_name to reference files in Devin’s input box so Devin can quickly find the right place in your codebase to review and/or edit. Note that this only works for files in repos that have been set up in Devin’s Workspace.

• Speed: Devin is ~2x faster vs in October 2024 and takes ~7.8 minutes on average to complete junior developer tasks in our internal evaluations.
• Copy/paste in Devin’s browser: You can now copy text from your browser and paste it into Devin’s browser! This was a highly requested feature that removes a major friction with providing Devin access to accounts (you no longer need to type in your passwords)!
• Helping users with their prompts: Devin proactively gives you feedback on suboptimal prompts & proposes breaking tasks down when they’re too complex.
• Gitlab (beta): Connect both Gitlab and Github repos to Devin! Devin can now push, pull, and view/create Gitlab MRs. Contact us via app.devin.ai/settings/support to set this up.

• Batch edits: Tell Devin to “find and edit” code to encourage Devin to “fan out” and edit an arbitrary number of files in parallel. This greatly improves speed, especially for repetitive refactors.

• Multi-action: Devin can choose to perform any set of diverse batch of actions optimistically (e.g. viewing the browser, while running a shell command, while reading 10 code files), improving speed.
• Browser improvements: We’ve shipped browser changes that allow Devin to:
  • deal with auto-opening tabs (required for some complex auth flows)
  • use multiple tabs (helpful for iteratively comparing 2+ webpages)
• Local UI Testing: Devin can better test + visually understand UI changes locally.
• Customize chat vs workspace width: Drag to make the chat as narrow or wide as you’d like! The editor in the workspace is also easier to navigate now, with file tree on the left.

• Repo setup (in Devin’s Workspace): We verify that all the commands you provide Devin (to run lint, install dependencies, and run tests) run successfully, and Devin will surface in chat if any of these commands don’t succeed.

• Sonnet 3.7 in Devin: We incorporated Sonnet 3.7 in Devin on 2/24, with optimizations to our use rolling out starting 2/26. In our testing, the new model is the best we have seen to-date on a variety of tasks including debugging, codebase search, and agentic planning.
• Keyboard shortcuts: Use → ← or ↑ ↓ anywhere on the session page to step through Devin’s workspace progress over time.
• Devin PR Metrics: app.devin.ai/metrics now shows all PRs opened by Devin, even when 2+ PRs were opened in the same session.
• Faster startup: Devin only installs dependencies for the repositories needed in a session.
• Addressing your PR review feedback: Devin is more reliable at remembering to address all the review comments you left on its PR.
• Misc brain improvements: Devin is less likely to loop while trying to fix CI/lint failures, is better at planning, is better with git, and many more improvements!

• each action Devin took (e.g. “Edited github.py”)
• Devin’s thoughts explaining why the action was taken (e.g. “There was a type error….the fix involves XYZ”)
• any editor diagnostics errors present after the action was taken (in red)

• Manage members and access controls for all organizations
• Centrally manage billing across all organizations

• Navigate to Settings > Devin’s Workspace > Danger Zone
• Switch to Large Performant (Beta) - this will require resetting your machine setup. If you want to opt in to experimental auto-migration, reach out to support@cognition.ai or via Slack Connect

• Keeping sessions under 10 ACUs (Devin’s performance degrades in long sessions)
• Providing details in your very first instruction to Devin, including (1) specific requirements (2) high level description of the task (3) what Devin should do after making the requested changes - e.g. testing instructions, PR guidelines, or tell Devin to wait for CI to pass without testing locally
• If you find yourself often re-using instructions, add them to Devin’s knowledge in Settings > Devin’s Settings > Knowledge

• Unlimited seats - Devin is built for engineering teams
• Access to Devin’s API, Slack integration and IDE extension
• Onboarding session & direct support from the Cognition engineering team

• Devin pulls in context automatically
• Message Devin from your phone
• All Slack sessions also link to a webapp session

• Say “sleep” to put Devin to sleep. Devin only wakes up again when you tag @Devin in thread
• Say “archive” to put Devin to sleep + archive the session
• Turn on Slack notifications in sessions started from the webapp, you’re now able to (1) interact with Devin in Slack (2) receive updates in the Threads section of Slack

• When the PR receives comments or fails lint, Devin will automatically wake up to address it if it’s sleeping
• Click “PR Preview” under the session title to see the changes Devin has made before a PR has been created. If Devin makes edits, you’ll see a “Jump to Latest” button appear in the top right

Tip: Setting up Devin’s Workspace significantly improves Devin’s performance on your codebase. Imagine if every time you started a task, your laptop and part of your memory were wiped - that’s what happens to Devin without setup!

• Works in conjunction with Copilot and Cursor
• Devin’s just a shortcut away (Cmd+G)
• Keep track of your active Devins
• Review and accept code directly in your local IDE

Devin, we're using auth0 instead of clerk - can you remove clerk support from the provided file? Output format: {lines_edited: int, success: bool}

• Connecting your Github organization - this enables Devin to scan your codebase and generate Repo Knowledge. Github also enables Devin create PRs and respond to your PR comments automatically!
• Connecting your Slack organization allows you to kick off sessions and respond to Devin in the same place where you interact with your human teammates! Next time someone reports a frontend bug, try tagging @Devin in the channel to address it!
• Manually setting up Devin’s machine. If your repository requires developers to have environment variables or dependencies installed, it’s important to set up Devin’s machine. Otherwise, Devin will spend its limited resources figuring out setup before it’s able to tackle the task you give it.
  

• Single sign-on with Okta
• Auto-Join for Company Domains: Allow any user with a company email to join Devin without individual invites
• Customized Onboarding: Tailor example sessions and suggested prompts to guide your organization’s users to Devin’s most valuable use cases
• Usage Insights: Automated email alerts to track your usage over time

• press Enter for new lines
• use Cmd + Enter (or Ctrl + Enter) to send your message
• paste example code snippets or lists of requirements to try our rich text features
  

• Unlimited seats
• Access to our Slack integration
• A larger ACU (Agent Compute Unit) capacity included with your monthly subscription
• A dedicated workspace for your team to create, share, and collaborate in Devin sessions together

• Write your playbook in the Content on the left hand side
• Click compile and review the newly formatted Playbook
• You can always edit and update the compiled Playbook. When it’s ready, click create!

• The commands are run from ~
• The commands run in sequence (so having cd dir and then ls will do ls from dir)
• Each command is given a 2 minute timeout (so you can’t run long-running servers with these commands)

• Click on a command to jump to the timestamp where Devin used the command.
• Click the menu icon (appears when you hover over a command) to copy the full output.

Deprecation Warning: This is no longer a supported feature. Devin can be woken up again any time after going to sleep now. It is recommended that hosted services be deployed elsewhere with Devin’s help.

• Tell Devin “Run pwd and then pause. Do not do anything else.”
• Open VSCode and open up a terminal once Devin is paused
• Do any machine setup yourself (install packages, configure repos, etc.)
• Create a snapshot. Moving forward start sessions with this snapshot - all your future Devins will benefit from the setup you prepared!

• Note that this is a beta feature and may not work for some sites, but we’ve found that it works for Amazon and Resy, and are excited to explore together what else this enables!
• Additionally, Devin may still ask for credentials. You’ll need to remind Devin to first check using its browser whether it’s already logged in!
