> Small frontend bugs and edge cases - tag Devin in Slack threads

And other points where it should shine. How does it compare to using Cursor? Is it the slack integration?

the workflow is quite different from Cursor or Copilot - Devin is an asynchronous tool. A common way to use Devin is to kick off a few sessions in the morning, while you work on other higher priority tasks. It feels a lot more like working with a colleague that you can tag in Slack or go back and forth with on PR comments

Devin has 2 hour, 6 hour and 24 hour inactivity limits before it pauses the work and temporarily deprovisions (sleep) the VM, so you have to supervise it every so often.

Does it open PRs?

Yes, it does if you request it to do so. You can tell it to not do too.
