Overview
I used it really heavily at my last company (to the point I was a top 200 user globally): - We had a Slack channel just for app feedback, where Devin would triage every issue or feature request.
Workflow
The author used Devin to triage app feedback from a dedicated Slack channel, allowing users to resolve issues via chat while engineers reviewed and merged resulting PRs. Devin also debugged infrastructure with read-only permissions and enabled non-technical staff to coauthor PRs. Human engineers remained in the loop for final merges and oversight of non-technical threads.
Reported result
The source reports that time-to-value was excellent despite high costs, and Devin Review caught significant bugs. However, no specific quantitative metrics or failure rates are provided. A measurable acceptance check would be tracking the percentage of user-reported issues resolved without direct engineer intervention.
Human role
The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.
Limitations
Devin is described as expensive, particularly the Review feature. The workflow requires setting up read-only permissions for deep debugging and managing Slack integrations. Human approval is mandatory for merging PRs, especially those coauthored by non-technical staff, to ensure code quality and security.
Try it
Act as a DevOps agent. I have a Slack channel [replaceable: #app-feedback] for user issues. Use Devin to triage incoming messages. For each issue, generate a PR draft or debug report. Ensure read-only access for infra debugging. Non-technical users will coauthor PRs; I will review their threads. Before merging any PR or sending any external communication, present the diff and summary to me for approval. Start with a dry run on one sample issue from [replaceable: sample_issue.json] and show me the output. Do not merge or publish without my explicit confirmation. If inputs are missing, ask for the Slack channel ID and sample issue text.
