Devin's December 2024 update adds Slack collaboration, PR tools, and a REST API

Cognition's December 2024 Devin update lets users tag Devin in Slack threads and ask it to create PRs, with Devin automatically responding to PR comments and lint failures.

The update adds Repo Knowledge that Devin generates by scanning repositories, an Agency setting that makes Devin propose plans before executing complex tasks, and a REST API for structured input and output.

Devin also gained faster session startup and enterprise options such as Okta single sign-on.
