Cognition is rolling out Devin Apps, a new capability that lets users describe a software tool and watch the Devin AI developer build and host it directly as a private web app on cloud infrastructure, ad-hoc-news.de reported.
Applications run at fixed addresses on the preview.devinapps.com domain. Access requires logging in through a Devin account, and public release over the open internet is not planned.
Secure Virtual Machine Hosting
Administrators can grant access permissions to specific individuals, organizations, or an entire enterprise, while pinning key applications for all employees. The system runs on individual virtual machines utilizing memory snapshots, shutting down automatically five minutes after the last request.
Reactivating upon incoming traffic takes only seconds, with billing based strictly on active operating time. These instances support standard HTTP architectures alongside SQLite and PostgreSQL databases, plus the Devin application programming interface.
Applications Focus on Internal Workflows and Testing
Because applications run on single virtual machines rather than auto-scaling server clusters, Cognition noted the offering isn’t suitable for high-traffic production services. Intended use cases focus on internal control panels, approval workflows, key performance indicator dashboards, and test copies of full-stack software.
Users can create new apps via a sidebar menu, input templates, or directly from an active Devin work session. Templates include tools for metrics, project status overviews, and review queues, while user data remains entirely on customer systems without external third-party forwarding.
Cognition Rolls Out Features Following Massive Valuation Growth
Cognition is rolling out the feature gradually for activated accounts without disclosing package pricing or subscription tiers yet. The San Francisco-based company closed a $2 billion Series-E financing round in September 2026, reaching a $48 billion valuation and an annualised revenue exceeding $1 billion.
This release follows a series of updates, including an upgrade for Devin Teams with SWE-2 sessions announced on Nov. 12, 2026. Earlier product deployments included the acquisition of Corridor on Oct. 29, 2026, alongside SWE-2 Flash on Nov. 4, 2026, and Devin Review 2.0 on Nov. 5, 2026.
