Devin Can Now Schedule Its Own Recurring AI Agent Sessions

Cognition

Devin, Cognition's AI coding agent, now schedules itself for recurring tasks. Describe a workflow once — release notes, flag cleanup, QA — and Devin sets the cadence, runs automatically, and carries memory between sessions so runs build on each other.

Devin, Cognition's AI coding agent, now supports self-scheduling: run a task once, tell Devin to make it recurring, and it sets the cadence and executes automatically — no cron job or workflow builder required. What makes this different from a scheduled script is state: Devin reads and writes its own notes across sessions, so a Friday release-notes run won't re-summarize PRs it already covered — it picks up where it left off.

Scheduled Devins compose with Managed Devins — Devin's parallel sub-agent feature — also launched this week. A scheduled weekly QA pass can spin up a managed Devin per page, run them in parallel, compile results, and post a Slack report automatically. The combination turns complex recurring workflows into something that runs itself.

Set up a recurring workflow for any fixed-cadence task — weekly release notes, daily staging QA, or Monday feature flag audits. Available now for all users.
