AI engineer 'Devika' to develop apps

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: India's first artificial intelligence-based software engineer 'Devika' is ready to develop apps and software. Devika was developed by VH Mufeed, a 21-year-old native of Chavakkad, Thrissur.

Devika will give the code right away if the necessary information is given to her. Devika only needs a few seconds to understand the instructions, do the research and write the code. She can understand all Indian languages.

Devika was introduced through Mufeed's cyber security firm 'Stition'. The aim was to beat the AI ​​model 'Devin' developed in March by American company Cognition. One needs permission from Cognition to use Devine. However, anyone with internet access can use Devika through a platform called GitHub. Being an open-source software, it is free. It has more than one lakh customers.

Vivek R and Asjit Kalam are co-founders of Stition.

Abandoned Plus Two and learnt coding
Mufeed's interest in technology started at a young age. During his school days, he discovered Google's security breach. While studying in Plus Two, he won gold in the National Skill Development Corporation's India Skills competition. He represented India in the World Skill Competition in South Korea. He then abandoned Plus Two studies halfway through and started learning coding by watching YouTube videos. In 2022, he started a company called Liminal in Dubai. Mufeed's father is SI Hamsakutty of the Crime Records Bureau. His mother Faseela is a Secretariat employee. He has two brothers- Murshid and Munjid.

Indian look
