Devika is an open-source agentic AI software engineer developed by stitionai, designed as an alternative to Devin by Cognition AI. It accepts high-level natural language instructions, decomposes them into steps, researches relevant information via web browsing, and generates multi-language code to complete software projects autonomously. The project is in active early development on GitHub under the MIT license and supports multiple LLM backends. Key features: - High-level instruction decomposition into executable coding steps - Integrated web research module to gather relevant information during development - Iterative autonomous debugging: executes code, reads errors, researches fixes - Dynamic agent state tracking and visualization during task execution - Multi-LLM backend support: Claude 3, GPT-4, Gemini, Mistral, Groq, Ollama - Multi-language code generation across diverse programming languages
