Infosys has partnered with US-based Cognition to roll out Devin, an AI software engineer, across global enterprises to speed up software development.
In layman terms, Infosys is using a smart computer helper called Devin that can help people build apps faster.
Context: Infosys is doubling down on AI after its AWS tie-up just this week, as companies look to build software faster and cut time-to-market.
What’s the deal: the company will deploy Devin across its own engineering teams and embed it into client delivery models worldwide. The AI agent will be integrated with Infosys Topaz Fabric, its in-house AI platform.
Together, they will make easy-to-use AI tools that help big companies build and fix software faster.
Why it matters: Devin can act like a virtual engineer, handling coding, testing, maintenance, and modernisation tasks. This helps reduce technical debt and speeds up legacy system upgrades.
Infosys has already tested Devin for six months and seen gains in quality and efficiency. Now, it’s taking that playbook to clients as AI agents move from hype to real-world deployment.
Zoom out: AI-powered software development is growing rapidly because companies want to build apps quicker and with fewer people.
An interesting shift is that AI tools are no longer just helping humans write code, they are starting to act like junior engineers, handling tasks such as fixing bugs, testing software, and maintaining old systems.
This is changing how software teams work, with AI doing the repetitive work while humans focus on ideas and design.
