Marketing by Cognition, a US-based startup has named “Devin” as the first AI software engineer in the world.
Here’s what you need to know about Devin and what he can do in just eight simple points.
1. Who made Devin?
In the United States where Cognition, an applied AI lab is based, introduced DevinAI whose description reads “the world’s first fully autonomous AI software engineer.” Rather than being a replacement for qualified software engineers, it therefore calls Devin a ‘team mate’.
2. Devin briefly.
Devin is an artificial intelligence chatbot developed for programming, making software and websites and learning from mistakes. The only one of its kind that can build completely functional webpages or application simply with a single instruction.
3. In what ways will he be useful to you?
Multiple lines of code, debugging and deployment are some of the capabilities of Devin. It also assists in learning new technology, organizing complex projects and anticipating needs.
Like in ChatGPT we only have to type this question prompt. We can specify things such as the language of our choice to code in or any other specifications regarding how our programs should ultimately behave.
Devin then uses this information to produce a comprehensive methodical approach to solving it. It begins by utilizing developer tools just like human software engineers do. It writes code while fixing bugs.
4. Devin's capabilities on display?
Let's say you were to ask Devin to do something:
“Build a website that maps best restaurant in Pune and conducts a search to locate the eateries, obtaining their addresses and contact details, reviews.”
Devin can make this website with this prompt only; It can test websites, debug them and also launch. Devin is equipped with skills to fix any bugs that you may come across.
5. How Can You Use Devin AI?
Devin still remains in the phase of early access cognition. The address of Cognition Labs website cognition-labs can be used to reach out to them for its early access.
6. Knowledge Gathering by Devin through Modern Technology
However, it has been trained how to learn new technical abilities by following blog posts or documentation about the technologies it needs to understand.
7. Debugging, too?, is another thing that Devin also does
In addition its abilities extend towards fixing code repositories which have various types of coding problems. Mistakes can range from grammatical issues in code such as generics or inaccuracies in arithmetic or logic.
8. Can Devin Replace Human Software Engineers?
According to Cognition, Devin was not meant replace human engineers but assist them instead. As yet however, the model is neither creative nor particularly good at solving problems like humans are. To what extent do human software engineers stand
