Devika, an open-source AI engineer, has a strong grasp on interpreting human commands with precision.
After the uproar surrounding Devin, the very first "AI software engineer" developed by Cognition Labs in the United States, India has become a contender with their own creation, Devika. This passion project, an open-source initiative by Mufeed VH (Hamzakutty) from Lyminal and Stition.AI, strives to compete with Devin's abilities.
Devika and Devin have similar methods, as they both utilize machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP) to interpret human commands. However, while Devin focuses on comprehending the instructions, Devika's main focus is on breaking them down into specific tasks that can be carried out. Afterwards, Devika conducts independent research and generates code on its own to successfully accomplish the given objectives.
The AI tool created in India presents itself as a collaborative ally for developers, potentially providing a more convenient option compared to the US-developed Devin. While information about Devin's capabilities is still undisclosed, Devika's open-source approach enables a higher level of transparency and community participation in its progress.
The introduction of Devika brings an additional dimension to the worldwide competition for advancing AI, specifically in the realm of software development. The effects of these AI resources on the technology job market are yet to be determined, but it is certain that the coding landscape is on the brink of a major change.
Mufeed VH has recently reached out to potential early testers and contributors for his project through X, which was previously known as Twitter. In his announcement, he described the functionalities of the AI tool. The creator stressed that the project will undergo thorough testing and bug fixes before an official release.
We would like to extend an invitation to early testers and contributors for Project Devika, an open-source alternative to Devin. Although Devika currently lacks the capabilities of Devin, we are determined to reach that level eventually. Therefore, we are calling on the open-source community to join forces with us!

Devika's main characteristics comprise of:
The set of 12 models is capable of interacting in a feedback loop to fulfill a user's query and complete a project through actions such as understanding, browsing, researching, coding, documenting, and decision-making.
Ollama enables the support of Claude 3, GPT-4, GPT-3.5, and Local LLMs.
Devika has the ability to independently run and troubleshoot her code, without requiring any external assistance, and also deploy static websites on Netlify.
