Devv AI
AI search engine turned full-stack coding agent for developers — 700k+ developers since its 2024 launch.
About
Devv started in 2024 as a vertical AI search engine for developers — a 'better Perplexity for developers' that combined retrieval-augmented generation with a custom index of official documentation, code snippets, and web results. Its Web Mode, GitHub Mode (connect your repos for contextualized search), and multi-agent 'Expert Mode' for multi-step reasoning earned it a strong Product Hunt launch and a loyal following among developers debugging real-world code.
By 2026 Devv pivoted into a full-stack AI coding agent for indie builders, with a reported 700k+ developers using it to ship web apps, APIs, and integrations from a single prompt. The freemium model offers a free tier with a Pro upgrade unlocking unlimited searches and access to frontier models. As with any AI search product, occasional inaccuracies on niche or obscure topics are a known limitation worth keeping in mind.
