According to the CIO, Devin will handle work such as updating internal code to newer programming languages. However, it will remain supervised by the company’s human employees.
Who is Devin?
Devin is developed by AI startup Cognition, which claims it is the world’s first fully autonomous AI software engineer.
“Devin is a tireless, skilled teammate, equally ready to build alongside you or independently complete tasks for you to review,” said Scott Wu, co-founder of Cognition, on the company’s website.
“With Devin, engineers can focus on more interesting problems and engineering teams can strive for more ambitious goals.”
According to Wu, Devin can plan and execute complex engineering tasks, recall relevant context, learn over time, and fix mistakes.
