Devin: web-based agent, designed to feel like hiring a software dev - used to cost $500/mo 😱, but now only $20/mo - autonomously completes tasks end-to-end, then opens PRs - easy to spin up multiple Devins simultaneously - Gumroad says Devin writes 41% of their PRs

: AI IDE, fork of VS Code - very popular, strong community + tutorials - gold standard AI tab completion, ⌘K inline editor 🥇 - powerful agent kicked off vibe coding trend - $20/mo unlimited plan, limits tokens to save $ (or usage-based costs w high-quality MAX mode)

: VS Code extension, sidebar agent, 1.2M installs - install in Cursor/Windsurf/VS Code - sends every token to LLMs, quality is high but so are costs - top-tier MCP marketplace, simple one-click installs ⭐️ - agent can see your Chrome browser, inspect elements, read logs

: VS Code extension, sidebar agent, 380k+ installs - fork of Cline, adds new features, but no MCP marketplace - create custom modes for fine-grained control in your repo, very powerful - Boomerang Tasks: breaks down complex projects, delegates subtasks to assistants 🔥

: "code prompting app," alternative to code editors - super precise file and context selection ✂️ - pass tons of context, 1-shot tasks, no agent required - the future? devs are ditching IDEs/agents and just using RepoPrompt - native Mac app, Windows/Linux coming

: fork of VS Code, 2.5M installs - getting acquired by OpenAI?? 😯 - competes with Cursor: uniquely implemented tab completion, inline editing, agent - built-in 1-click "deploy to the web" button - AI agent available as plugin for JetBrains, VS Code, Vim, Emacs, etc

Aider: the original terminal-based coding agent, 2M installs - high appeal for devs who prefer the command line over IDEs - integrates with pretty much any LLM, not just OpenAI or Anthropic 🧩 - cleverly tuned to adopt the role of someone you're pair programming with

@DevinAI Devin costs 4-5x per task compared to cline FYI. For the more hands off nature it might be worth it but it also cannot tackle tasks above a non trivial level of complexity.

@DevinAI And then it go mess up your whole code and now you must look for the problem

@DevinAI I just built a similar tool for $0 using Notion + Tally + Zapier. Seeing a lot of overlap—thanks for this thread

Since I joined Cognition I've been obsessed with learning how our eng team uses Devin themselves If we are building the best coding agent + we have the most cracked engineers + we've been fully AI-pilled from day one... it stands to reason that there is a lot to learn by just watching our technical staff work And yes there are a lot of tips & tricks. I recorded a video talking about my favorite... Agent Fan Out - asking your agent to break down the problem, spin up 10 more agents in parallel, and combine their results This is something I've seen everyone do - from our model research team spinning up 100 Devins to examine eval logs - or our product team using 5 child Devins to try out 5 different alternative implementations of the same thing If engineering is cheap and easy, why not build the product 10 times and choose the best one? Think of it in a master/slave context: Master Devin -> 10 Slave Devins -> Master Devin pulls their results There are two reasons this is useful 1. Agents are smartest when their context is small and their task is small & precise. Context windows are finite and too much becomes distracting 2. Agents are good at helping you break a large problem into independent & parallelizable chunks of work Every Devin is its own VM/computer so this also is just a great way to move faster. I've done a migration from React Native to Swift by having Devin break it up into 6 pieces then spin up new Devins to work in parallel In the video I build a greenfield project and try my best to show off this agent fan out concept. I also threw in a few other tricks that I've seen my coworkers do: - Let Devin write its own prompts (especially for creating child Devins). It's way better than us humans - Do tons of things at once. You should be absolutely frying your attention span. Your job should just be babysitting 38 different Devins - Don't be a blocker. Before letting the agent work I make sure to tell it to ask me any questions that would fill in ambiguities. Give your agent all the information it needs (and then some more) so that it can just cook without stopping to ask you questions every few minutes - Let Devin test itself. Integration sanity tests are pretty much solved Hope this is useful!!
