A US-based AI lab, Cognition, has announced the launch of what it calls the world’s first fully autonomous AI software engineer, named Devin.

Devin: The Advanced AI Software Engineer for End-to-End Development and Problem-Solving

• Advanced Capabilities: The AI agent comes with some advanced capabilities in software development, including coding, debugging, problem-solving, etc.
• Improved Performance: It uses machine learning algorithms to constantly learn and improve its performance and adapt according to new challenges.
• Executing Complex Engineering Tasks: Devin can build and deploy apps end-to-end and can also train and fine-tune its own AI models. It can plan and execute complex engineering tasks that would require thousands of decisions.
• Fixing Mistakes: It can recall relevant context at each step, self-learn over time, and even fix mistakes. This software engineer has the ability to proactively collaborate with the user.
• Reporting Progress in Real Time: It reports progress in real-time, is capable of accepting feedback, and works along with the user through design choices as needed.
• Performing Tasks independently: Devin is equipped with common developer tools including the shell, code editor, and a browser, and it can perform tasks independently.

Performance: Augmenting Efficiency & Eliminating Human Errors in Software Development

• Efficiency: It is capable of augmenting efficiency and speed within software development processes by automating repetitive tasks, instantly generating code, expediting project timelines, and cutting down development expenses substantially. 
• Immune to Human Errors: It is immune to human errors or inconsistencies.
