Factory
Assessment
Factory combines model routing, agent execution, sandboxing, verification, and telemetry behind one control plane. The documentation covers Router, BYOK, Droid Computers, BYOM, OpenTelemetry export, and air-gapped patterns. Customer logos and production claims remain vendor statements. Choose it when those controls match your workload, then validate the deployment mode.
Devin
Assessment
Devin combines a hosted computer, coding agent, desktop client, and CLI. The Windsurf-to-Devin Desktop transition puts both surfaces under Cognition's Devin branding. The hosted machine and agent are both Cognition services; named design partners remain vendor-supplied evidence.
