After Infosys, Cognizant Partners with Cognition to Deploy Devin AI

Cognizant has partnered with Cognition, the creator of Devin AI, an autonomous software engineer to help enterprises apply AI to software development at scale and accelerate business value across operations.

The collaboration brings together Devin, which can execute development tasks independently and in parallel, and Windsurf, an agentic development environment that augments engineers in real time, with Cognizant’s delivery models and platforms.

These include Cognizant Flowsource, a unified full-stack engineering platform designed to integrate generative and agentic AI across key stages of the software development lifecycle (SDLC).

Unlike traditional coding assistants that suggest snippets of code, Devin is designed to independently plan, execute, and validate end-to-end development tasks across complex systems. 

Through the partnership, both the companies will introduce these autonomous and agentic capabilities into enterprise environments, combining advanced AI with the governance, platforms, and operational scale required for production use.

Together, the companies aim to help enterprises modernise applications faster, improve engineering productivity, and apply AI across use cases such as code migration and refactoring, testing and quality engineering, and ongoing application maintenance.

“AI is fundamentally transforming how software is built. At Cognizant, 30% of our code is already generated with AI, and we aim to reach 50% in the near future. But achieving this requires more than powerful models or tools,” said Ravi Kumar S, CEO of Cognizant.

“As an AI builder, Cognizant bridges the gap between AI infrastructure investments and measurable business outcomes. Our partnership with Cognition combines autonomous and agentic engineering capabilities with enterprise-grade delivery, governance and scale, helping clients modernise faster and realise real value.”

The partnership is designed for enterprise adoption from the outset.

Cognizant said it will integrate Cognition’s technologies into its engineering practices, delivery frameworks, and platforms, enabling secure and governed adoption at scale.

As part of its internal deployment, Cognizant has rolled out Windsurf to support its vibe coding initiative, demonstrating large-scale application of AI-assisted software development.

Scott Wu, founder and CEO of Cognition. “Cognizant’s depth in engineering, delivery, and transformation makes them a strong partner for scaling agentic and autonomous AI responsibly. Together, we are enabling organisations to move from assisted development to a new model of software engineering execution powered by AI.”

Cognizant said that the partnership will initially focus on enterprise modernisation and large-scale engineering transformation programs. Over time, both the companies plan to expand the collaboration across industries and use cases, helping enterprises adopt AI-native software engineering in a scalable, secure, and business-aligned manner.

Infosys recently announced a similar partnership with Cognition to deploy Devin across Infosys’ internal engineering operations and client engagements globally.
