US-based start-up Cognition has launched ‘Devin’ termed as the world’s first AI software engineer.
Devin can write, debug and deploy code to create functioning websites and videos. Devin is a software development assistant. It can take a single command and turn it into a functioning website or software program.
Devin can also identify and rectify bugs. Instead of just offering coding suggestions and auto-completing some tasks, Devin can take on and finish an entire software project on its own.
Devin has its own command line, code editor, and browser which helps it to operate independently
In a video, Cognition Chief Executive Scott Wu demonstrated how Kevin operates, finds and fixes bugs on its own as it tests the code being written.
Today we're excited to introduce Devin, the first AI software engineer.
Devin is the new state-of-the-art on the SWE-Bench coding benchmark, has successfully passed practical engineering interviews from leading AI companies, and has even completed real jobs on Upwork.

“Teaching AI to be a programmer is actually a very deep algorithmic problem that requires the system to make complex decisions and look a few steps into the future to decide what route it should pick,” Scott Wu told the Bloomberg.
“It’s almost like this game that we’ve all been playing in our minds for years, and now there’s this chance to code it into an AI system,” he said.
