In this video, I walk through both ways to work with Devin: the cloud agent and Devin for Terminal. You'll see how each session runs in its own isolated environment with a dedicated VM, browser, IDE, and terminal.

What's covered:

- Kicking off sessions from the web app, Slack, Linear, Teams, the Devin MCP, or the Devin API
- Live work logs, diffs, and Slack session updates
- Devin Review automatically catching and fixing a bug in a pull request
- Using "Test the App" to have Devin boot, test, and record a screen capture of your application
- Jumping into the desktop and IDE to test the live or local version yourself
- Running multiple sessions in parallel, archiving, and scheduling (including a daily standup summary sent to Slack at 3 AM)
- Devin for Terminal: slash commands, model selection (including SWE 1.6 and SWE 1.6 Fast at 950 tokens/sec from Cognition)
- Using /handoff to send a long-running local session to the cloud while you keep working
- DeepWiki for deep codebase understanding, even on repos without a README
- Assigning Devin to tickets directly from Linear or Jira and watching session updates in real time

Whether you want a cloud agent handling PRs in the background or a CLI companion for local work, this should give you a solid overview of how Devin fits into a real engineering workflow.
