Cognition AI

Cognition operates Devin, which its official site describes as the first autonomous software engineer. The company states that Devin plans, writes, tests, and ships production code on its own, working inside a team's codebase and existing tools, and that Devin is deployed at some of the largest and most complex institutions in the world. Cognition also introduced FrontierCode, a benchmark it describes as measuring whether a model writes code a maintainer would actually merge. The company has also welcomed The Interaction Company of California, the makers of Poke, a personal agent that lives in texts.

Cognition operates Devin, described on its official site as the first autonomous software engineer. The company states that Devin plans, writes, tests, and ships production code on its own, working inside a team's codebase and the tools the team already uses, and that Devin is deployed at some of the largest and most complex institutions in the world. Cognition introduced FrontierCode, a benchmark it says measures whether a model writes code that a maintainer would actually merge, combining custom rubrics, novel verifiers, and tests. Cognition also announced welcoming The Interaction Company of California, the makers of Poke, to Cognition; Poke is described as a personal agent that lives in texts, messages users first, follows up, and is the only AI agent approved to text natively on Apple Messages. The announcement states that Poke users can continue using the product as before, and that soon Cognition's models and infrastructure will make Poke faster and more reliable.

Cognition positions its work around expanding human capacity by having agents work alongside people, with engineers operating more like architects while agents handle repetitive engineering work.

  Slack launches Slack Code code channels for AI software teams[4]Slack推出面向AI软件团队的Slack Code代码频道channellife.co.nz

  Reported: 2026-08-24

  Slack launched Slack Code, a feature that lets teams and AI coding agents collaborate in dedicated code channels, with agents such as Claude, ChatGPT, Devin, GitHub Copilot and Vercel agents triggerable from existing conversations. Channels are created per project, archive automatically when tasks complete, and keep a searchable record; agents inherit Slack's existing permissions and administrative controls, and pushing code to production still requires human sign-off.
