About company
Cognition

Cognition operates Devin, the first autonomous software engineer. We believe the purpose of technology is to expand human capacity — not by replacing meaningful work but by working alongside people as an exponential collaborator, helping them think deeper and move faster. We build tools for software creation because software shapes nearly every aspect of modern life.

Cognition helps engineers operate more like architects: strategizing, designing systems, and focusing on problem solving, while agents handle the repetitive engineering work. Devin plans, writes, tests, and ships production code on its own, working inside your codebase and the tools your team already uses. Devin is deployed at some of the largest and most complex institutions in the world.
