Their assistant is supposedly capable of extended, multi-step processing: Silas Alberti, a computer scientist and co-founder of another stealth AI startup (of course), has tried Devin and says the technology is a leap forward. It’s less like an assistant helping with code and more like a real worker doing its own thing, he says. “This feels very different because it’s an autonomous system that can do something for you,” Alberti says. Devin excels at prototyping projects, fixing bugs and displaying complex data in graphical forms, according to Alberti. “Most of the other assistants derail after four or five steps, but this maintains its state almost effortlessly through the whole job,” he says.
