Side-by-side comparison
Devin
Cognition's autonomous AI engineer that plans, codes, tests, debugs, and opens PRs unattended. Now shipped alongside Windsurf (acquired July 2025) as the async half of Cognition's stack — Devin runs async tasks, Windsurf is the in-editor surface.
Factory
Factory provides Droids — AI software engineers that autonomously handle development tasks including coding, testing, debugging, and PR creation. They integrate with GitHub and Jira, accept natural language task descriptions, and operate continuously without human intervention.
