Devika: Meet India-Made Open-Source AI Software Engineer That Aims to Challenge Devin, the World's First 'AI Coder'
Devika, and India-made AI software engineer is announced by Mufeed VH, 21-years old founder of Lyminal and Stition.AI. Devika aims to challenge Devin - world's first AI coder introduced by US-based startup Cognition Labs
Mumbai, April 2: Artificial intelligence is evolving and achieving new milestones in producing texts, videos, images and coding. Recently, US-based startup Cognition Labs created the world's first AI Software Engineer called "Devin AI", capable of automatically working autonomously with its code editor—this AI software engineer from Cognition Labs. Devin AI can turn simple commands into a website or a software program. To compete with Devin, India has offered an alternative open-source AI software engineer called "Project Devika" that can understand human instructions.
According to a report by NDTV, Devika was created by Mufeed VH (Hamzakutty) of Lyminal and Stition.AI as a passion project. The report mentioned that Devika AI is capable of rivalling Devin AI's capabilities. Devika of Lyminal and Sitition.AI uses ML (machine learning) and NLP (natural language processing) to understand the instructions humans provide. After taking human instructions, Devika reportedly breaks them into actionable tasks. X Beats Instagram, Facebook in Driving Organic Traffic via Google Again, Elon Musk Reacts Saying ‘Is It Real?’.

The report said Devika AI could conduct its research and write code autonomously to achieve the targeted goals. Devika is open-sourced, which reportedly would make it more accessible compared to Devin, allowing it to engage the community and be more transparent. Devin, on the other hand, needs to provide more information about its capabilities.
Project Devika AI Features and Capabilities
In his official announcement on X, Mufeed VH (@mufeedvh) said that Devika AI comes with 12 Argentic models capable of interacting with each other in a feedback loop. It is said to "understand, browse, research, code, document, and make decisions" per the query to complete the project. Devika supports GPT-3.5, GPT-4, Claude 3 and Local LLMs. The post said, "- Devika can run the code she writes and fix/patch the code herself if she encounters any errors without user intervention."

Mufeed VH announced project Devika to invite early testers and contributors. The founder of Lyminal and Stition.AI said to launch the tool officially after doing intensive testing and fixing bugs. He posted that "Devika is far from the capabilities of Devin"; however said that the it would soon get there.
