Reported experience

  1. What they did

    Bloomberg's Ashlee Vance, one of a few journalists with private-preview access, asked Devin for a basic Pong-style game and a website built from scratch. Devin works from a chat prompt inside a sandbox with a code editor, browser and shell. It makes a step-by-step plan, writes and tests code, fixes its own bugs, and reports progress. The user can add prompts to correct it.

  2. How it went

    Per Vance, Devin finished both the Pong-style game and the website in under 20 minutes. The article gives no detail on the quality of the results. It says more complex tasks take longer.

  3. Worth knowing

    Devin was only in private preview at the time, so access was limited to selected users.

Example prompts

Try with Devin
Create a basic [type of game, e.g. Pong-style] game and a simple website to host it. Make the game playable in the browser with [controls, e.g. keyboard], and the site should include [sections, e.g. title, instructions, play area]. You're done when both run locally and you've given me the steps to open them. Ask me before deploying anything publicly.
