About
Cognition AI develops Devin, an autonomous AI software engineer that can write, run, test, and deploy code. Founded in August 2023 by Scott Wu, Steven Hao, and Walden Yan, all competitive programmers who won gold medals at the International Olympiad in Informatics, the company combines large language models with reinforcement learning to create an agent capable of handling complex engineering tasks requiring thousands of decisions. Devin accesses developer tools including its own shell, code editor, and browser within a sandboxed compute environment, allowing users to simply type natural language prompts into its chatbot interface.
96%. Enterprise customers like Nubank have reported 12x efficiency improvements and 20x cost savings using Devin for migration tasks.
