Overview
Cognition is an applied artificial intelligence lab founded in 2023 that created Devin, an autonomous software engineering agent able to plan, write and debug code across a full repository. The company drew attention for demonstrating long-horizon coding work rather than single-file completion, and it sells Devin to engineering organisations. In 2025 it acquired the Windsurf coding assistant team and product, broadening its developer tooling.
