Meet Devika: India's First Autonomous AI Software Engineer

Inspired by the pioneering work of Cognition Labs in the US, which produced the world’s first fully autonomous AI software engineer named Devin, a young innovator from Kerala has introduced India to its very own AI software engineer, named Devika.

"Project Devika was initially born out of a joke I posted on Twitter/X. I saw Devin’s demo and was really impressed by it. The name Devin came from the word ‘developer’, which is when I randomly thought of Indian names that would fit the pattern, thus the idea behind Devika was born," said Mufeed, the creator behind the AI agent.

Devika is engineered to understand human instructions and autonomously generate software code, while also proficiently performing bug-fixing tasks.

Devika can also comprehend high-level human instructions, convert them into actionable steps, conduct research, and generate code to complete its tasks.

It has been equipped with 12 agentic models operating within a feedback loop.

The AI software engineer can independently run and troubleshoot code without user intervention.

Another noteworthy fact is that unlike its predecessors, Devika is an open-source project, welcoming contributions from the developer community.

Mufeed envisions enhancing Devika’s capabilities to match those of Devin, with plans to conduct open benchmark tests for valuable feedback.

"As of now, Devika is far from the capabilities of Devin... but we’ll eventually get there," Mufeed stated optimistically.

Looking ahead, Mufeed aims to equip Devika with multimodal capabilities, enabling it to create websites from wireframes and execute internet-based actions autonomously.
