Cognition, the startup behind the viral AI coding agent Devin, announced in a blog post on Monday that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire AI coding startup Windsurf.Cognition was one of the first AI startups to launch a fully fledged AI coding agent, Devin, which didn’t just help with tasks, but also promised to automate them completely as if it were a junior software engineer. This was a markedly bold approach compared to Cursor and Windsurf, which offered environments for developers to easily access AI tools. Now Cognition has the versatility of offering both AI coding agents and an AI-powered IDE, perhaps enhancing its value proposition. What is your take on using AI for coding ?
