We've been working on and using agents for the last two years. There's a lot of gotchas, but also some very creative things we've seen from teams we work with. Put together some of the best tips. If there's things we missed, we'd love to hear and update the guide to include more ideas from the community!

we have plenty of small, early stage teams that use Devin but it's optimized designed to fit into a team's workflow. you can of course give it a try and see if it's a good fit for your projects!
the workflow is quite different from Cursor or Copilot - Devin is an asynchronous tool. A common way to use Devin is to kick off a few sessions in the morning, while you work on other higher priority tasks. It feels a lot more like working with a colleague that you can tag in Slack or go back and forth with on PR comments
latest update is around 3-4x faster than it was back in Apr but we are working on making it much faster still!
a helpful benchmark is that a typical frontend task is about 1-2 ACUs, but really depends on the complexity of the task
very much so!
hey guys - Walden here, one of the founders. Excited to have you try out Devin. Reach out here if you have any questions!
It seems like an enterprise product is going to have a market here.
It sounds like you are building your own models? How are you seeing them currently compare to OpenAI's Whisper model?
Cool hack! I'm having some trouble thinking of a case where I wouldn't just explain to Copilot / ChatGPT what I need. Maybe specifically in cases where I had the raw data but not the column titles?
Amazingly fast! Would love to see the suggestions be a little better but it seems like a great team working on this.
