Description:

This 8-hour intensive introduces Devin, Cognition’s autonomous AI software engineer, and its 2026 product suite: Devin Cloud, Devin Desktop, Devin CLI, and Devin Review. Participants move from watching Devin plan and execute a task end to end, to delegating real work through Interactive Planning, to orchestrating parallel Managed Devins on larger jobs. The day closes with the governance and review discipline needed to run Devin safely inside a real engineering workflow.

Duration:

Full Day (8 Hrs)

Course Code: BDT633

Learning Objectives:

After this course, you will be able to:

Explain Devin’s agent-native architecture and how the Atlas-style reasoning loop plans, executes, and verifies a coding task inside a sandboxed VM.
Configure a Devin account, connect a GitHub repository, and set up Devin Desktop or the Devin CLI for local, agent-assisted development.
Apply Interactive Planning and Devin Search / DeepWiki to scope an engineering task accurately before execution begins.
Orchestrate Managed Devins to break a large task into parallel, independently verified sub-tasks.
Evaluate Devin-generated pull requests using Devin Review and apply governance practices appropriate to the organization’s security and compliance needs.

Software engineers and development teams evaluating autonomous coding agents for their SDLC.
Engineering managers and tech leads assessing AI-agent ROI, cost, and governance.
DevOps and platform engineers responsible for CI/CD and code-review workflows.

Working knowledge of Git and GitHub (clone, branch, commit, pull request).
Basic familiarity with the software development lifecycle and reading code in at least one language.
A free GitHub account and a laptop meeting the system requirements

Module 1: Devin Foundations

What Devin is: Cognition’s cloud agent that plans, codes, tests, and opens pull requests with minimal supervision.
The agent-native shift: each session runs in its own sandboxed VM with a terminal, browser, and code editor.
Devin’s product surfaces: Devin Cloud (autonomous sessions), Devin Desktop (the IDE, formerly Windsurf), Devin CLI, and Devin Review.
Free tier versus paid plans: what Free unlocks for exploration, and where Pro, Max, Teams, or Enterprise become necessary.

Module 2: Delegating Work – Interactive Planning & Task Assignment

Writing an effective task brief for Devin: scope, acceptance criteria, and constraints.
Interactive Planning: how Devin proposes a plan and asks clarifying questions before it starts executing.
Assigning tasks through Slack, Jira or Linear, a GitHub issue, or directly in the Devin web app.
Observing a live session: reading the terminal, browser, and editor activity as Devin works.

Module 3: Advanced Capabilities – Search, Wiki & Managed Devins

Devin Search and DeepWiki: auto-generated, auto-refreshing codebase documentation with cited answers.
Managed Devins: one Devin coordinating a team of parallel sub-agents, each in its own isolated VM.
Devin Fusion: a multi-model harness pairing a frontier model with a lower-cost sidekick model to cut task cost.
Scheduled, recurring sessions: using Devin as an ongoing background teammate rather than a one-off tool.

Module 4: Review, Governance & Deployment

Devin Review: AI-assisted pull request review; public GitHub PRs can be reviewed for free at devinreview.com.
Treating Devin’s output like a junior engineer’s work: review discipline and the real-world PR merge-rate.
Security and compliance posture: SOC 2, ISO 27001, and VPC/private-cloud deployment for Enterprise customers.
Choosing a plan for your team: Free, Pro, Max, Teams, or Enterprise, and the cost/governance trade-offs of each.

Hands-On:

Create a Devin account on the Free tier, sign in with GitHub, connect a sample repository, and tour the Devin Cloud workspace.
Assign a small bug-fix or feature request to Devin, review its plan, and let it run to a completed pull request.
Ask Devin Search a question about the sample codebase, then split a multi-part task across two Managed Devins running in parallel.
Run an end-to-end workflow: submit a task, review Devin’s plan, inspect the resulting pull request with Devin Review, and merge it.

I completed the Big Data Developer and Mentorship Program. The course is very informative and interactive. A well defined plan, course contents (labs, extra course material, offshore support team) and tracking system help us learn each component with ease and helps us stay focused.

Java/Hadoop Developer

Overall the content of this training was very good and it provided all details required in slideshow. The trainer was also knowledgeable and was able to clarify the questions raised during the training.

Director

This was an excellent introductory class for a non-specialist that provided me with exactly the kind of foundation and background I was seeking. I would recommend it highly to anyone who wants to understand more about the subject or to use it as the first steps in getting into the field. It will help me evaluate proposals we receive and also guide faculty, staff and students on whether they might benefit from using ML/AI in their work.

Senior Manager

It was extremely helpful to have the beginning of the day explaining more about the background of data governance/etc. I did find that the Tableau exercise was helpful conceptually but I still don’t know if I feel like I know anything about the product. Overall, this was extremely helpful though! Thank you!

Data Architect

I thought Instructor did a great job in these difficult times. One suggestion would be to come up with a uniform plan for acknowledging questions and stick to it throughout the course. I feel like this course met my needs as a beginner to AWS and can’t wait to do more labs. Thanks.

Data Engineer

I love the way he taught Machine Learning class. He started with theory and followed up with some hands-on example of his own. Then he gave students to do some work based on the topics he covered. Also, he always tried to make class interactive, encouraged students to ask questions and clarified almost unlimited time if there are any questions. He is a great instructor and I love to take class with him in future.

Software Developer

I am very interested in further training in Machine Learning and Neural Network and would like to know which course to take next. This is exactly the class I have been looking for to try and set up my project of creating a “smart” medical record system. I would love to be in touch with Instructor in the future to get more advice.

Healthcare Practitioner

Run-through of all concepts. Learning the basic concept of GCP and connecting dot with my work. Simple concepts explained. Holding students attention in an 8 hours virtual class is not easy. I appreciate Instructor’s calm attitude and answering every question asked.

Director

The course was very well presented. An all-day Zoom class is challenging but it was interesting. I thought some of the exercises and quizzes could be made a little more advanced or challenging, but they are good for a general audience.

Software Developer

Large bulk of information being provided in the course as well as really good in depth explanations. The practice exercises are very helpful and I will be referring to them post the class completion.

Software Architect

We just wanted to reiterate our thanks for providing the Intro to ChatGPT training! We had so many individuals very interested in this topic and appreciate your guidance and graciousness in facilitating their learning. We hope to work with you in the future to provide additional sessions.
