Jigward and Devin

Two ways to get engineering work done.

Devin is an autonomous AI software engineer from Cognition. A developer hands it a coding task, and it comes back with a pull request.

Jigward is an AI engineering coworker your whole team hires.

Devin
Autonomous coding agent
Jigward
AI engineering coworker

A coworker, not another tool.

  • It works where your team works

    Mention it in Slack, assign it a Jira issue, ask it to review a pull request. It answers in the same place.

  • It belongs to the whole team

    Engineers, tech leads, QA engineers and analysts give work to the same coworker, and it keeps what the team settled.

  • It brings work back, and leaves the decision

    A report with its evidence, a draft pull request or a Jira issue. Merging and deploying stay with people.

Two ways to work

Autonomous coding agent

Devin

A developer hands Devin a ticket, a bug or a feature from Slack, Jira or its own app. It works in an environment of its own, with a shell, an editor and a browser, and comes back with a pull request to review.

AI engineering coworker

Jigward

The team hands Jigward work where it already talks: a Slack thread, a Jira issue, a pull request. It comes back in the same place with a report, the evidence and a draft pull request, and it keeps what the team decided for the next task.

Question Devin Jigward
What it is An autonomous AI software engineer An AI engineering coworker your team hires
Works for Engineering teams, and the developers who start its sessions The whole team: engineers, tech leads, QA engineers, analysts
Where you reach it Slack, Microsoft Teams, Jira, Linear, its web app and CLI Slack, Jira and GitHub pull requests, where the team already works
What you hand it Tickets, features, migrations, tests and code reviews Code changes and the work around them: logs, browser checks, tickets, scheduled checks
What it remembers Knowledge and Skills, the instructions it reads in each session The team's decisions, and its understanding of each repository
What comes back A pull request, with each session's commands and browser steps A report with evidence where you asked, and draft pull requests people merge
Best for Handing off well-scoped coding tasks Handing off the work a whole team shares

When to choose which

Choose Devin when

  • You want to hand off well-scoped coding tickets and review the pull requests.
  • A large migration should run as many sessions in parallel.
  • Developers want to follow the work and take over its machine.

Choose Jigward when

  • The whole team, QA engineers and analysts included, hands work off.
  • The work goes past the code, into logs, browser checks, tickets and scheduled checks.
  • What the team decided on one task should carry into the next.

Questions

What is Devin?

Devin is an autonomous AI software engineer made by Cognition. A developer gives it a ticket or a task, and it plans, writes and tests the code in its own environment, then opens a pull request.

How is Jigward different from Devin?

Devin is built around a developer handing off coding work. Jigward is built as a coworker the whole team hires. It works in the team's Slack, Jira and pull requests, takes on the work around the code as well as the code, and keeps what the team decided for the next task.

Can we use both?

Yes. They do not connect to each other. A team can keep handing coding tickets to Devin and hand Jigward the work around the code, and people review the pull requests from both.
