Release Notes
Live Voice Mode Voice calls with Devin now run on a live speech model. Starting a call drops you straight into the call controls (with a ringtone while connecting), holding Space to talk works right after muting, and Devin's spoken replies stay in order in the transcript. When a session is connected to Slack, the thread shows who is on the call and how long it lasted instead of Devin's internal voice notes. Sessions Wake as You Type A sleeping session starts waking up as soon as you begin typing in its composer, so Devin is usually ready to work the moment you press send. Copied Messages Keep Their Formatting Copying a Devin message now preserves formatting when pasted into email or documents, still pastes as Markdown into code editors, and keeps bullets and links when pasted back into the Devin composer. Transcript copies include each speaker's name. Configurable Send Shortcut Choose whether Enter or Cmd/Ctrl+Enter sends a message under Settings → Personal → Send shortcut. The preference applies across Devin's composers. Skipped Questions Are Shown as Skipped When Devin moves on from a question before you answer, the transcript (and the Slack thread, for Slack-connected sessions) now shows the question as skipped, with what was asked, instead of "User answered: (no answer)". Reboot VM from the Sidebar Sessions that lose their VM now show a "Reboot VM" action in the sessions sidebar instead of a generic blocked or finished state. Agent Mode Icons in the Sidebar You can show each session's agent mode as an icon in the detailed sidebar. Enable Agent mode under Properties → Property visibility; it is off by default. Redesigned Session Dialogs Session dialogs — including the confirmations for stopping a session or closing its PRs — have been restyled to match the rest of the app. Security Bugs Are Always Checked in Devin Review Devin Review now always checks for security bugs in every review; the "Security scan" toggle has been removed from Settings › Review. Whether security bugs are posted to GitHub remains toggleable. Slack User-Group Mention Triggers for Automations and Oncall Trigger automations and oncall responders when a Slack user group is mentioned. Select a group or enter its Slack ID manually, and optionally restrict matching to specific channels. Admins Can Opt into Allowing Automations on Public GitLab Repos GitLab connections now have an "Automation scope" setting. Org admins can choose "All connected repos" to let automations access public-visibility GitLab projects on that connection. Install a Personal Plugin from a Directory Devin can now install a plugin from a folder on its machine (for example an attachment you sent it, once unpacked), not only from a GitHub repository URL. Read-only Customize View Members who can view Customize but have no layer of their own to install into see a read-only view of what's configured. When no plugins are available to browse, the Browse view explains that admins can add plugins instead of showing a blank list. MCP Secrets Are Now Managed in the MCP Page Settings → Secrets shows a banner explaining that MCP server credentials moved to each server's page, with a button to the right surface and a docs link. Teams Improvements Devin sessions attached to Microsoft Teams format replies for Teams (tabular data is sent as file attachments), include images pasted earlier in a thread when Devin is mentioned, and respond faster to new conversations. Picking new or org from the / command menu now works in personal and group chats, and the first-session welcome card suggests tagging @Devin in Teams when your organization has Teams connected. When Devin isn't connected to your Teams organization or a team wasn't fully set up, the bot now explains how to fix it. Connection Page Titles Browser tab titles on Settings → Connections detail pages show the integration name (e.g. "Microsoft Teams") instead of "Settings". Blueprint Source in the v3 API The v3 blueprint API lets you choose whether a repository blueprint is managed from .devin/blueprint.yaml in git or from Devin's database (source: "git" | "database" on create/update) and reports the current mode in blueprint responses.
