Cognition

Devin for internal software development and code review

Cognition merged 659 Devin pull requests in a week and used AI review for every pull request

WorkingCompany's own claimOfficial ↗

Problem

Investigating bugs and preparing changes interrupted engineering work. As agents produced more code, reviewing changes became a bottleneck.

Approach

Cognition used its own Devin agent to investigate repositories and prepare pull requests from employee requests. Staff could start work through Slack or issue trackers. The company also used Devin Review on every pull request to organize changes and flag possible bugs.

Results

659Devin-generated pull requests merged internally in the week preceding the February 2026 account, according to CognitionCompany's own claim[1]

Takeaway

The reported pull-request count measured accepted output. Cognition did not provide a controlled comparison of engineering time or defect rates.
