Atlantic vs Devin

From customer complaint to tested pull request.

Devin is an autonomous software engineer from Cognition. You start it with a task, a mention or an automation. Atlantic starts from your backlog, support desk and repository: three finders each work blind, and a judge picks the problem.

  • Browser test on video
  • Second-model review
  • Auto-merge is off by default

Same repository. A different finish line.

Both can write code and open pull requests. The differences are how work starts, how each one tests and reviews the change, and what you pay for.

Atlantic

Atlantic reads your backlog, support desk and repository, picks one problem, writes the fix, tests it in a browser, has a second model review the diff and opens the pull request.

  • From tickets to pull requests
  • Evidence on the pull request

Devin

Devin works in its own virtual machine, tests in its own browser and opens a pull request. Your team starts it with a task, a mention or an automation trigger, and Devin Review can check the result.

  • Cloud and desktop agent
  • Triggers and automations
