Best Build with Devin
Devin as the product — not just a tool.
The challenge
Use the Devin API to build a product or feature where Devin acts as an autonomous infrastructure layer. Don't just prompt Devin to write code — programmatically trigger and control Devin agents to solve real-world problems automatically.
Think Devin API builds, the agent client protocol (ACP), and autonomous multi-agent workflows. Devin is affordable enough to genuinely put to work inside 48 hours.
How you win
Main-track criteria apply (product, business, execution power, vision). Cognition shares the full track brief before the weekend.
How to stand out
- Make Devin the engine, not a sidekick — agents that run autonomously, triggered programmatically, controlling real workflows.
- Show a real-world problem getting solved end to end, with Devin doing the load-bearing work.
