HyperTeamsHyperTeams vs Devin
Devin is an autonomous agent that runs long jobs in Cognition's cloud VMs. HyperTeams hands several jobs to the Claude Code, ChatGPT Codex or Antigravity already on your computer, and keeps what happened while you were away on one screen.
Why HyperTeams over Devin
Devin and HyperTeams share a goal: the work is done without anyone watching. Where they split is where the work runs. Devin boots a VM snapshot holding your repos and tools in its cloud; HyperTeams runs in folders you registered on your own machine and keeps instructions and results there. You do not buy a separate engine either: it runs on the Claude or ChatGPT subscription or Google account you already have, and you pick the engine per job. HyperTeams does not drive Devin; the two sit side by side. Once others start assigning work to your machine, HyperTeams Connect adds per-item pre-approval and a record of it.
Long jobs stay on your machine too
Devin Desktop and CLI run locally, but long jobs you leave running are sent to cloud Devin, which boots from a VM snapshot holding your repos and tools.
The agent works directly in a folder you registered and keeps going after you close the window. Instructions and results stay on that machine; the only thing leaving it is the question going to the AI you picked.
Runs on the plan you already have
Devin runs on its own subscription's usage quota, and you buy more usage past it.
Claude Code runs on your Claude subscription, ChatGPT Codex on your ChatGPT subscription, Antigravity on your Google account. No separate engine to pay for on top.
Stop others' work at your own machine
The team assigns work to Devin from Slack, Teams, Linear or Jira, and it runs on Devin's machines.
HyperTeams Connect filters work bound for your machine through policy per folder and command, with pre-approval per item. Who approved what, and when, is kept as an audit trail.
Pick the engine per job
The work is done by Devin, Cognition's agent.
Pick whichever of Claude Code, ChatGPT Codex and Antigravity is installed, per job, with a default per folder. Other models such as GPT or Gemini attach with an API key.

Devin docsWhat the control room does, and what Connect does
HyperTeams is two products. Which of them answers each row above is exactly where the boundary sits.
HyperTeams System
Runs the work on your machine
A program you install with one command. It assigns work per folder, runs jobs in parallel, and keeps going after you close the window. While you work alone, this is all you need.
- Where it runs
- Several jobs at once
- How far along it is
- If you close the window
- At a set time
HyperTeams Connect
Makes it something others rely on, unattended
It starts paying the moment there is a second machine and a second person: pooling machines into one list, filtering work others assign through approval, keeping an audit trail of what happened, and splitting cost per person.
- Several machines in one place
- When someone else assigns work
- Retracing it later
- What it cost
When do you move up a rung?
- L1 · Observe
You watch several machines. The moment there is a second one.
- L2 · Share
The team sees what was asked for. The moment you start sharing one password.
- L3 · Delegate
Others assign work and see the results. This is where approval, policy, and audit earn their place.
Running both
You don't remove or migrate what you use today. Here is how to layer HyperTeams on top of it.
- 1
Keep what you give Devin
Work that starts in chat or a ticket and finishes in their cloud can stay with Devin.
- 2
Install the control room on that machine
One command. It fetches Claude Code for you and prints a one-line install for ChatGPT Codex and Antigravity.
- 3
Move the work that belongs on your machine
HyperTeams does not drive Devin; the two sit side by side. Code and material that cannot leave, and work you want on the plan you already have, go on control-room cards.
Which one should you pick?
When to just use Devin
When there is no machine to leave on
Cloud Devin runs on their machines, so it needs none of yours. HyperTeams needs the machine it runs on to stay awake.
When the team hands off work from chat and tickets
Mention Devin in Slack or Teams, or tag it on a Linear or Jira ticket, and the work starts. If that is where your team's requests already live, it is the shortest path.
When every run should start from the same environment
Build a VM snapshot with your repos and tools once, every session starts from it, and you roll back to an earlier snapshot if it breaks.
When HyperTeams is the answer
When code must not leave
HyperTeams SystemIf putting your repo in someone else's VM snapshot is a problem, HyperTeams runs in a folder on your machine and keeps instructions and results there.
When you want more out of the plan you already pay for
HyperTeams SystemRun several jobs at once on the Claude or ChatGPT subscription or Google account you already have. Cost per job and what is left on your account sit on one screen.
When different jobs want different engines
HyperTeams SystemA job on Claude and a job on Codex run side by side on the same screen. When one engine hits its limit, you can carry on with another.
When a colleague assigns work to your machine
HyperTeams ConnectHyperTeams Connect adds accounts and roles, policy per folder and command, and pre-approval per item. Cost is attributed to a person and a team, with ceilings.
A layer, not a replacement
Put it on top of what you already run
One command to install. Nothing you use today gets removed or moved — you only add the command screen above it.

Common questions
Devin is an autonomous AI software engineer from Cognition. It takes work from its web app, Slack, Teams, Linear, Jira or the API and writes and runs code in a cloud VM; Devin Desktop and CLI run locally.
For handing work off and collecting the result, yes, but the approach differs: Devin runs its own agent in its cloud, while HyperTeams runs Claude Code, ChatGPT Codex and Antigravity on your machine. If you have no machine to leave on, Devin is the fit.
Yes. Neither drives the other, so they do not collide. Give Devin the work that starts in team chat, and HyperTeams the work that has to run on your machine.
Cloud Devin boots a VM snapshot holding your repos and tools on its side (Enterprise can choose a VPC deployment). HyperTeams runs in a folder on your machine and keeps instructions and results there.
Devin runs on its own subscription's usage quota, and you buy more past it. HyperTeams System runs on the Claude or ChatGPT subscription or Google account you already have, and HyperTeams Connect meters only the features that cross into a team, in credits.
