See how autonomous software development can work end-to-end, reading legacy code and managing cybersecurity risks with real use cases.

Our next DC CTO Roundtable welcomes Elliot Branson, Federal CTO at Cognition, the company behind Devin, the AI software engineer.

Cognition's growth has been remarkable. Its customers include Goldman Sachs, Mercedes-Benz, NASA, Openrouter, along with multiple U.S. government entities. Devin also writes more than 90% of Cognition's own code.

Cognition pioneered autonomous software development with Devin, an AI coding agent that completes real engineering work end to end. Devin reads legacy code, plans the change, writes and tests it, and delivers a merge-ready pull request for a human to review. The engineer stays in control while the backlog gets worked.

Elliot will share how autonomous software development is moving from pilot to practice in the federal space and talk through modernizing legacy code and mitigating security vulnerabilities.
