Devika is an open-source project pursuing this vision, positioning itself as a community-driven alternative to proprietary systems like Cognition&rsquo;s Devin.</p> <p><strong>Devika</strong> is an open-source AI software engineer that translates natural language requirements into fully functional applications. Give it a prompt like &ldquo;Build a React dashboard with user authentication, a PostgreSQL backend, and real-time charting&rdquo; and Devika responds by planning the architecture, selecting the libraries and frameworks, writing the code file by file, running tests, debugging failures, and iterating until the application works.</p>
