Video Transcript
cognition AI just unveiled Devon the quote unquote first AI software engineer.
Now if you've watched my channel at all you know they're not the first but still their demos
were quite impressive but the amount of traction that their marketing got over the last few days
that was the most impressive part of the entire thing. So today I'm going to go over all of their
demos. I'm going to show you what's unique about Devon and I'm going to tell you how they were
were able to achieve such an incredible launch.
Before we get into everything else,
let me show you their launch video,
which was hosted by their CEO, Scott Wu.
And Scott Wu is very impressive.
And I'm gonna show you why right after this video.
Hey, I'm Scott from Cognition AI.
And today I'm really excited to introduce you to Devon,
the first AI software engineer.
Let me show you an example of Devon in action.
I'm gonna ask Devon to benchmark the performance of Lama
on a couple of different API providers.
From now on, Devon is in the driver's seat.
First, Devon makes a step-by-step plan of how to tackle the problem.
After that, it builds the whole project using all the same tools that a human software engineer would use.
Devon has its own command line, its own code editor, and even its own browser.
In this case, Devon decides to use the browser to pull up API documentation
so that it can read up and learn how to plug in to each of these APIs.
Here, Devon runs into an unexpected error.
Devon actually decides to add a debugging print statement.
Rewinds the code with the debugging print statement
and then uses the error and logs to figure out how to fix the bug.
Finally, Devon decides to build and deploy a website with full styling as the visualization.
You can see the website here.
All of this is possible today because of the advance that we've made
and both reasoning and long-term planning.
It's a really hard problem and we've only just started.
But we're super excited about the progress that we've made so far.
In the meantime, if you'd like to try out Devon on your own real world tasks, send us a request below and we'd be happy to forward it to Devon.
Alright, so you saw the video, but if you watched my video from yesterday going over Pythagora, it's essentially the same thing.
Definitely, Devon has a very unique UI, but in terms of capabilities, I've seen GPD pilot also known as Pythagora, I've seen Meta GPT, I've seen a handful of other projects that do this or better.
Now, what is so unique about Devon?
Well, there's a few reasons why they were able to get such an explosive launch day.
First, they raised a bunch of money, so they raised $21 million Series A, led by Founders Fund.
Founders Fund is an incredibly well-known fund in Silicon Valley.
And so just having the backing of Founders Fund, having all of their investors tweet them out,
it helped get the ball rolling for their incredible reach that they were able to achieve this week.
And if you're not familiar with Founders Fund, it was founded by Peter Teal, who is a very well-known
libertarian billionaire, founded PayPal, went on to be the first check in Facebook, close friends with Mark Zuckerberg,
and Sean Parker was also a part of Founders Fund, so a very reputable firm backing Devon.
But that's not it. Let me also show you a video that went absolutely viral about this CEO.
So he is a very, very sharp person to say the least.
Watch this.
We're going to move on to the last matchup of the first round, which has Victoria Shaw
our seven seed against Scott Wu from Louisiana our tenth seed.
