Overview
Cognition's autonomous AI software engineer for end-to-end tasks.
What's changed (as of 2026-09-11)
- Autonomous “software engineer” agents are no longer niche: compare Devin against OpenHands, Cursor cloud agents, Claude Code routines, and Factory-style coding agents on task scope, sandboxing, and human review loops.
- Prefer vendor demos and your own eval harness over marketing autonomy claims.
