Claude Code
TOP FEATURES · 15
F01
Autonomous Terminal AgentaiClaude Code runs in your terminal as an autonomous coding agent that reads your codebase, edits files, and executes commands without constant human input. It talks directly to model APIs without requiring a backend server or remote code index, and asks for permission before making changes. Claude Opus 4.7 — the most capable generally available model — is available in Claude Code for maximum performance on complex agentic tasks.
F02
Claude Managed AgentsautomationClaude Managed Agents is a hosted API service for running Claude as a long-horizon autonomous agent with secure sandboxing, built-in tools, and server-sent event streaming. Launched in public beta April 2026, it provides a stable meta-harness that can accommodate Claude Code and other agent harnesses, enabling enterprise teams to run agents through the API without managing their own infrastructure. Claude Code is one of the harnesses that runs on top of it.
F03
VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf & JetBrains ExtensionseditingNative extensions for VS Code (also compatible with Cursor and Windsurf) and JetBrains IDEs bring Claude Code into your development environment with inline diffs, a dedicated sidebar panel, real-time code change visibility, @-file mentions with line ranges, and conversation history. VS Code extension is in beta.
F04
Multi-Agent Orchestration (Subagents)automationSpawn multiple Claude Code subagents to work on different parts of a task simultaneously, for example, one building the frontend while another builds the backend API. A lead agent coordinates work, assigns subtasks, and merges results. The /agents command provides a tabbed interface with a Running tab for live subagent management and a Library tab for creating and configuring custom subagents. Managed subagents can be deployed organisation-wide by admins.
F05
Checkpoints & RewindstorageThe checkpoint system automatically saves your code state before each change. You can instantly rewind to any prior state using Esc x2 or /rewind, restoring the code, the conversation, or both, making it safe to attempt ambitious, wide-scale refactors and delegations.
F06
Hooks & Background TasksautomationHooks automatically trigger shell commands at specific points in Claude Code's workflow, such as running your test suite after code changes or linting before commits. Background tasks keep long-running processes like dev servers active without blocking the agent's progress on other work.
Devin
TOP FEATURES · 14
F01
Autonomous Code Execution & PR CreationautomationDevin autonomously writes, runs, and tests code in an isolated VM environment, then creates pull requests on GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket, from ticket to merged PR without requiring human intervention at each step. Devin v3 introduced dynamic re-planning: if Devin hits a roadblock mid-session, it alters its strategy without waiting for human input. Devin can handle most engineering tasks completable within roughly three hours, including implementing new features, fixing bugs, and building integrations.
F02
Parallel Multi-Agent Orchestration (MultiDevin)usersDevin can break down large tasks and delegate them to a team of managed Devin sessions running in parallel, each in its own isolated VM. A coordinator Devin scopes work, monitors progress, resolves conflicts, and compiles results, enabling large-scale migrations, bulk test coverage, and parallel research across many files or modules simultaneously.
F03
Autonomous Computer Use & Visual TestingperformanceDevin has access to a full Linux desktop environment with mouse and keyboard, letting it interact with web apps, desktop apps, and terminal UIs just like a human. After creating a PR, Devin can autonomously start the app, execute multi-step UI flows, take screenshots for visual verification, and deliver an annotated screen recording as proof of testing. The Test Recording Viewer surfaces rich test-result cards with pass/fail summaries and full playback, so reviewers can verify UI behavior without re-running the session.
F04
Scheduled & Event-Driven AutomationsettingsDevin sessions can be scheduled to run automatically on a recurring cron-based schedule (hourly, daily, weekly, or custom) or triggered in real-time by on-call events such as CI failures, Sentry errors, PagerDuty alerts, and Linear ticket labels.
F05
Knowledge Base & Persistent MemorydataDevin maintains a persistent, team-wide Knowledge Base of tips, codebase-specific context, deployment workflows, and tribal knowledge that it automatically retrieves when relevant across all sessions.
F06
Playbooks for Reusable WorkflowstemplatePlaybooks are structured, reusable instruction sets that can be attached to any Devin session to enforce consistent procedures, such as migration checklists, testing workflows, or hotfix protocols.
WHO IT'S FOR
Who each tool is built for
Use cases and fit tags from each tool's own positioning. Match these to your context, not their marketing.
Software engineers and engineering teamsDescribe a feature at a high level and Claude Code handles the complete implementation, reading the codebase, planning the approach, writing files across the project, running tests, and opening a pull request. Subagents can work in parallel on separate parts of a feature simultaneously, with a lead agent coordinating work and merging results. Anthropic's internal teams use this workflow to complete projects in hours that would otherwise take days.
Software engineers and QA teamsPaste an error message or describe a symptom and Claude Code traces the issue through the codebase, identifies the root cause, implements the fix, verifies it against existing tests, and commits the change. The checkpoint system lets developers safely roll back any change that introduces a regression, making bug-fix delegation low-risk even on production codebases.
Engineering teams and new developersClaude Code reads documentation files, traces data pipelines, identifies relevant files for specific tasks, and explains architectural dependencies through natural language queries, replacing traditional documentation searches. Cognizant has deployed Claude Code to help developers onboard in weeks instead of months, and Altana reports 2-10x acceleration in development velocity across complex AI/ML systems.
Engineering teams and tech leadsA user delegates an entire codebase migration, such as a language upgrade, framework version bump, or monolith-to-submodule restructuring, to Devin. Devin analyzes the codebase, groups files into independent work packages, and launches parallel Devin sessions (one per package) to execute the migration simultaneously. Each session opens a separate PR; the user reviews and merges changes without touching repetitive migration logic.
