Introducing Devin, the first AI software engineer.
Devin, an AI software engineer developed by Cognition, is designed to collaborate with human engineers or work independently on a wide range of software engineering tasks. This groundbreaking AI can plan, execute, and learn from complex engineering challenges, utilizing developer tools within a secure, sandboxed environment. By handling routine tasks, Devin significantly boosts productivity, enabling engineers to concentrate on more intricate problems.
Among Devin's remarkable capabilities are learning new technologies, building and deploying applications, identifying and resolving bugs, and even training AI models. The AI software engineer showcased its abilities on the SWE-bench benchmark, successfully addressing 13.86% of real-world GitHub issues, a considerable improvement over the previous best score of 1.96%.
Cognition, the AI lab responsible for creating Devin, is committed to advancing AI reasoning to develop AI teammates that outperform existing AI tools. Backed by prominent industry leaders and substantial Series A funding, Cognition seeks to transform various sectors by combining human capabilities with AI technologies. (Read More)
