Cognition AI

Developer of Devin, the world's first fully autonomous AI software engineer. Cognition builds autonomous software engineering agents. Devin is an autonomous AI software engineer created by Cognition that can independently plan, write, test, debug, and deploy code for real software engineering tasks, acting more like a junior teammate than a simple code suggester. While Copilot and Cursor mainly offer inline suggestions or chat-based help within your editor, Devin takes end-to-end ownership of tasks — it creates plans, executes multi-step workflows, uses its own cloud-based IDE (editor + terminal + browser), and can submit pull requests with minimal supervision. Devin excels at backlog cleanup, large-scale refactors, code migrations (like .NET Framework to .NET Core or legacy system updates), bug fixing in existing repos, implementing new features, and modernizing codebases, especially when given clear goals and some initial context. It connects smoothly with tools like GitHub, Slack, Linear, and CI/CD pipelines, so teams can assign tasks via chat or tickets, watch progress, review outputs, and merge its contributions directly into repositories. Devin is highly autonomous — it breaks down complex problems, explores codebases, runs experiments, fixes its own errors, and adapts plans on the fly — but most teams still review its pull requests and provide high-level direction or corrections for best results. Thousands of companies rely on it, including major names like Goldman Sachs, Citi, Santander, Nubank, and enterprises working through partners like Cognizant and Infosys to scale engineering capacity.
