Cognition AI

Cognition AI is an applied AI lab building Devin, an autonomous AI software engineer that plans, writes, tests, and ships production code. The company also operates the Windsurf agentic IDE following its 2025 acquisition of the Windsurf team and product. Devin is sold to individual developers, engineering teams, and enterprises as a managed agent that integrates with GitHub, Linear, Slack, Jira, and CI systems to handle migrations, PR review, bug triage, documentation, and scheduled engineering work. Cognition exposes a v3 REST API (Organization and Enterprise scopes) plus a CLI so customers can program Devin into their own workflows. Pricing runs from a free tier through Pro ($20/mo), Max ($200/mo), Teams ($80/seat/mo), and custom Enterprise plans with SAML/OIDC SSO and VPC deployment.

Cognition AI publishes 7 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Attachments API, AuditLogs API, Enterprise API, and 4 more. Tagged areas include Autonomous Agents, AI Software Engineer, Coding Agents, Developer Productivity, and DevOps.

Cognition AI’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, release notes, and 12 more developer resources.

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/cognition: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
