Cognition, a start-up company, announced the launch of Devin AI, the first integrated application that performs the function of a software engineer and programmer based on artificial intelligence technology.
New News - Technology
Devin AI is distinguished by its superior ability of programming to create websites, programs, and applications just by entering a single command, and the application is designed to be suitable for working together with human programmers.
Cognition, according to a statement posted on its official website, stated:
“What sets Devin AI apart from other popular AI plugins like Github Copilot is its ability to take entire software development projects from start to finish. From writing code and fixing associated bugs to eventually implementing it, he is even able to handle projects on Upwork.”
A Complete Programming Journey
The Devin AI application is considered a major shift in the field of programming using artificial intelligence. This gives programmers a complete AI toolkit for their projects instead of Copilot or StarCoder, which enables them to write abstract code or just suggest code snippets.
Devin AI will be available to the public soon. Cognition currently only provides access to a few users to try it out, but the company is seeking to attract more customers in the coming period.
How Devin AI Works
According to Scott Wu, founder and CEO of Cognition, a Devin AI user can simply enter the command prompt he wants to execute into the chatbot through the application’s interface, from here, the application’s algorithms begin to conceptualize or prepare a detailed plan for the entire software development project.
The application begins writing its own steps, requirements, and code… and then works to provide immediate solutions to challenges that may arise when preparing the project.
All of this is in full view of the programmer, who can object to the AI’s performance at any step and immediately intervene through the chat interface to fix it.
Wu emphasized that although the application is still in the testing period, in its current form it can perform many tasks such as programming and publishing applications, launching websites, and improving them comprehensively.
Devine can find and fix complex issues in code bases, fine-tune the programming language model on GitHub, and learn how to use unfamiliar technologies.
Outperforms All Other Software Models
When tested by leading companies in the technology industry, the new application was able to outperform other software models that provide solutions to common and complex problems in the field of software engineering, demonstrating Devin AI’s ability to think ahead, plan complex tasks, and make difficult decisions.
Programming is Just the Beginning
Global concern about software engineer and programmers being replaced by AI applications like Devin AI
On its official website, Cognition said in its comment on the launch of Devin AI: “Programming is Just the Beginning”, and experts expect that the startup may plan to produce other smart models that work with artificial intelligence in various fields beyond programming.
Perhaps this is what raises questions and concerns now about the extent of the limits of replacing humans with smart technologies in all areas of life. Content makers are no longer the only ones who are most concerned about their jobs. Will Devin AI replace human programmers as well?
