Migrate from Devin to Auteryn

Switching from Devin? This guide walks you through the migration process, highlighting what stays the same and what gets better.

Side by side: Keep Devin running while you move, so nothing stops in between.

Why teams switch

True persistence

Auteryn sandboxes survive restarts with automatic snapshots, and an idle sandbox pauses, then resumes where it left off.

Event-driven

Loops run an agent on a GitHub event, a Slack message, an email, or a schedule.

Start free

Auteryn has a free plan, and Pro is $29/month.

Broader use cases

Customer-facing agents, Loops, Knowledge, and content generation, as well as coding.

Sign up free - no credit card required
Recreate Your Agent
- Use similar instructions (see the instruction framework)
- Connect the same Integrations
- Set up knowledge collections
- Configure deployment channels
Test Thoroughly
- Run the same test cases you used with Devin
- Compare outputs and behavior
- Refine instructions if needed
Deploy
- Start with parallel deployment (both running)

- Decommission Devin when confident

Translating Devin concepts

Instructions/prompts

Devin and Auteryn both use natural language instructions.

Devin Format
Auteryn Format

You're a coding agent. Review PRs, suggest improvements,
and ensure code quality. Focus on security and performance.

You are a code review specialist with expertise in
security and performance optimization.

Your responsibilities:
1. Review pull requests for code quality
2. Identify security vulnerabilities
3. Suggest performance improvements
4. Ensure tests are comprehensive

Communication style: Technical but constructive

Structured instructions work best. Use our instruction framework.

Saving and resuming state

Auteryn saves an agent’s work between runs for you.

Auteryn: Each agent has one persistent sandbox session (per org) that is reused across runs — workspace files and environment state carry over. An idle sandbox pauses and later resumes where it left off, with its open apps and running commands. The sandbox is snapshotted so it can be restored after a container restart. Snapshotting is handled by the platform; there is no user-facing snapshot SDK.

You can also make one yourself. In the workspace, click the pill at the right of the sandbox panel’s tabs (on a phone, tap Open the computer in the message box, then tap the pill at the top). Under Checkpoints, Save now saves the workspace files, plus the browser’s sign-ins if you tick Include browser sessions. Save & stop saves a checkpoint first, then pauses the sandbox with its open apps. Restore brings back what a checkpoint saved.

Integrations

Reconnect each one in Auteryn:

What you use	In Auteryn
GitHub	Connect GitHub under Integrations (an OAuth sign-in)
Jira	Connect Jira under Integrations
Slack	Connect Slack under Integrations; Slack Loops need an Internal agent
Terminal	An agent with a sandbox gets a shell
Browser	Chromium in the sandbox, with Computer Use

What gets better

1. Persistent Sandboxes

Your agent’s work carries over from one run to the next.

Auteryn: One sandbox session per agent, reused across runs. Workspace files persist; snapshots support restore after restarts. An idle sandbox pauses and resumes where it left off.

# Files under /workspace carry over between runs
# Installed packages and config persist in the session
# Snapshot restore available after container restart
# An idle sandbox pauses, then resumes with its commands still running

2. Event-Driven Automation

Auteryn: Respond to events automatically with Loops. In the Console, a Loop pairs a trigger with the agent it runs. The trigger can be a GitHub event, a Slack message, an inbound email, a message on a Channel, or a schedule. A Loop on Pull Request Opened can run a code-reviewer agent on every new PR.

You can also kick off work programmatically: POST /api/run streams a run, and POST /api/run/async queues a background run and returns task/run IDs to poll. Long-running work continues in the background rather than blocking the caller.

3. Channels for your customers

Auteryn: Customer-facing agents answer on Telegram, WhatsApp, email, and the web widget.

4. Knowledge

Auteryn: Knowledge from several sources

Connect Notion, Confluence, Google Drive, GitHub, and websites
Sync on a schedule
Semantic search across all sources

Pricing

Free: $0/month (1,000 credits)

Business: $99/month (60,000 pooled credits)
Enterprise: Custom pricing

Migration checklist

Before migration

Document current Devin agent configuration
Export custom code and scripts
List all integrations and API keys
Save example test cases
Note any custom workflows

During migration

After migration

Common questions

Will my code work the same way?

Mostly. The sandbox is a standard Linux machine, so scripts and commands carry over. Commands that need root, such as sudo, are blocked.

What about my GitHub integration?

Connect GitHub under Integrations. It’s an OAuth sign-in, and you choose which repositories it can reach.

Can I migrate gradually?

Absolutely. Run both in parallel, shift traffic gradually, decommission Devin when ready.

How long does migration take?

It depends on how many agents, Integrations, and Loops you move. Start with one agent, and move the rest once it works.
