Meet Devin, the World’s First AI Software Engineer Who Can Write, Code, and Create

Cognition, a leading tech company, has launched Devin, the world’s first AI software engineer. Devin is a new AI tool that can write code, create websites, and develop software with a single prompt.

“Today, we’re excited to introduce Devin, the world’s 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. Devin is an autonomous agent that solves engineering tasks using its shell, code editor, and web browser,” announced Cognition on X.

Features of the World’s First AI Software Engineer, Devin

 Its remarkable capacity to anticipate and plan complex tasks sets Devin apart. It can make thousands of decisions, learn from its errors, and improve iteratively; Devin has all the essential tools that human engineers need, like a code editor and web browser, right at its digital fingertips.

Devin’s exceptional performance on the SWE-bench coding benchmark has enhanced its status as the apex of AI engineering solutions. It outperformed other solutions by a significant margin. Devin has also shown proficiency in practical engineering interviews with top AI companies.

However, Devin is not intended to replace human engineers; instead, it is designed to collaborate with them. By providing real-time updates, accepting feedback, and contributing to design decisions, Devin enhances the productivity and efficiency of engineering teams.

But what exactly can Devin do? The answer is almost anything. Whether it involves mastering new technologies, developing and deploying applications from start to finish, or troubleshooting code glitches, Devin excels. Moreover, Devin can train its AI models and address issues in open-source projects.

Devin has shown impressive outcomes when tested on real-world scenarios. Devin outperformed previous AI models by a wide margin, resolving nearly 14 percent of issues compared to just under 2 percent for its predecessors. 

Moreover, Devin has already made its mark on platforms like Upwork, effortlessly tackling real-world coding tasks, from debugging computer vision models to generating comprehensive reports.
