## What it is
Devon is an open-source AI pair programmer that acts as an autonomous software engineering agent, installable via pipx (backend) and npm (UI). It supports multiple LLM backends including Anthropic, OpenAI, Groq, and Ollama, with a web UI and terminal UI.

## Use cases
- autonomous coding agent that fixes bugs
- open-source alternative to Devin AI
- AI pair programmer for my terminal
- agent that edits code and runs tasks in a repo
- run a coding agent with local models via ollama
- automate small dev tasks with an LLM agent

## When to choose
- you want an open-source autonomous software engineer agent
- you prefer self-hosted or local models via Ollama
- you want a terminal or simple UI-driven coding agent

## When to avoid
- you need Windows support (not yet available)
- you need a production-grade, enterprise-supported coding agent
- you want IDE-native autocomplete rather than an autonomous agent
