After Devin comes Devika, an open-source AI software engineer capable of understanding human instructions, breaking them down into tasks, conducting research, and autonomously writing code to achieve set objectives.

Devika seeks to rival Devin by Cognition AI as an open-source alternative. It utilizes LLMs, planning and reasoning algorithms, and web browsing capabilities to intelligently develop software.

Its core capabilities include using LLMs such as Claude 3, GPT-4, GPT-3.5, and Local LLMs via Ollama, advanced AI planning and reasoning algorithms, contextual keyword extraction for focused research, seamless web browsing, and code writing in multiple programming languages.

One of Devika's key strengths lies in its ability to function as an AI pair programmer, reducing the need for extensive human intervention in complex coding tasks. Whether it's creating new features, debugging code, or developing entire projects from scratch, Devika aims to streamline software development processes and enhance efficiency.

The AI planning and reasoning engine within Devika enables it to break down objectives into manageable steps, refine plans based on context, and execute tasks autonomously.

Users can quickly get started with Devika by following simple installation steps, accessing the web interface, creating new projects, selecting programming languages and model configurations, and providing high-level objectives for Devika to work on.
