Translating Devin Concepts

Instructions/Prompts

Devin and Auteryn both use natural language instructions.

Devin Format
Auteryn Format

You're a coding agent. Review PRs, suggest improvements,
and ensure code quality. Focus on security and performance.

You are a code review specialist with expertise in
security and performance optimization.

Your responsibilities:
1. Review pull requests for code quality
2. Identify security vulnerabilities
3. Suggest performance improvements
4. Ensure tests are comprehensive

Communication style: Technical but constructive

Key Difference: Auteryn instructions are more structured. Use our instruction framework for best results.

Checkpoints

Devin: Manual checkpoints you create during execution

Auteryn: Automatic snapshots every 5 minutes + manual snapshots anytime

# In Auteryn, create a snapshot:
agent.create_snapshot("before-deployment")

# Restore later if needed:
agent.restore_snapshot("before-deployment")

Tools & Integrations

Most tools work the same way:

Tool	Devin	Auteryn	Migration Notes
GitHub	✅	✅	Same OAuth flow
Jira	✅	✅	Same API integration
Slack	✅	✅	Same bot setup
Terminal	✅	✅	Same commands work
Browser	✅	✅	Same automation APIs

What Gets Better

1. Persistent Sandboxes

Devin: Environments reset between sessions. You lose state.

Auteryn: Sandboxes persist indefinitely with automatic snapshots.

# Your agent's work survives restarts
# Files, installed packages, configurations all persist
# Automatic snapshots every 5 minutes
# Time-travel to any previous state

2. Event-Driven Automation

Devin: Manual triggering only

Auteryn: Respond to events automatically

# Example: Auto-review PRs
trigger:
  type: webhook
  source: github
  event: pull_request.opened

action:
  agent: code-reviewer
  task: review_pr

3. Co-Working Mode

Devin: Agent works alone, you review after

Auteryn: Work alongside your agent in real-time

See what the agent is doing live
Intervene and guide when needed
Collaborate on complex tasks
Learn from the agent’s approach

4. Knowledge Base

Devin: Basic context from files

Auteryn: Advanced multi-source knowledge base

Connect Notion, Confluence, Google Drive
Auto-sync on changes
Semantic search across all sources
Version history and rollback
