Earlier, we were introduced to Devin, who claimed to be the world’s first fully autonomous AI software engineer.
Now Mufeed VH, an Indian developer, has developed Devika.
Devika is an open-source AI software engineer that can comprehend high-level human instructions, and more.
Just a while back, we were introduced to Devin, who claimed to be the world’s first fully autonomous AI software engineer. That was a bit of a shocker in itself and now an Indian version of the same has been introduced too. Devika is an Indian open-source alternative to Devin. Read along to learn more about it.
Who developed Devika?
Mufeed VH, an Indian developer, has developed Devika. It is an open-source AI software engineer. With this, Mufeed aims to rival Devin. He described it as an Agentic AI Software Engineer. Devika is not as advanced as Devin yet. Speaking about this, Mufeed said, “As of now, Devika is far from the capabilities of Devin… but we’ll eventually get there.”

For those unaware, Devin was built and introduced by US-based AI startup Cognition last month. It can plan and execute complex engineering tasks independently. It can contextually recall, has learning capabilities, and the ability to collaborate in real-time too.
What can this Indian AI software engineer do?
Devika can 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.

It is further supported by advanced AI models like Claude 3, GPT-4, GPT-3.5, and Local LLMs. The AI software engineer can independently run and troubleshoot code without user intervention.
Let’s see what Devika’s future holds. What do you think, will it be a remarkable project or fall in the list of many other humanoids that people have forgotten about? Let me know in the comments.
