GoKawiilCognition launches Code Scans to turn engineering goals into pull requests via Devin
Cognition has released Code Scans, a Devin AI feature that lets engineers state a broad goal—like improving SEO or reducing maintenance overhead—and have the system investigate the codebase, evaluate findings, and generate pull requests automatically. It uses an 'Agentic MapReduce' architecture, the same one behind Devin Security Swarm, splitting large investigations into parallel batches and merging results into a single report before creating PRs. Early testers, including Philips' informatics team, report a 96% PR merge rate and over 700 engineering hours saved during trials.
