An open-source AI software engineer that breaks a task into steps, writes the code, and runs it for you.
Devika is an open-source AI software engineer that breaks a task into steps, writes the code, and runs it for you. It was built as an open alternative to Devin, with a multi-agent design: one agent plans, another writes code, another tests it, and the system reports its progress as it works.
Key Features
- Open-source autonomous software engineer
- Multi-agent design: plan, code, and test
- Runs on your own machine with your model
- Works with Claude, GPT-4, and local models
- Builds small apps from a description
- Free under the MIT licence
Pricing
| Plan | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Free and open source under the MIT licence; you pay only your model provider. |
Prices as listed in 2026 research. Always check the official site for the latest price — plans change. Free plan: Yes — it has a free plan.
Best for: developers who want to experiment with an open-source autonomous software engineer, accepting that it is a dormant project.

How it works
Devika runs on your own machine, connecting to the model of your choice, including Claude, GPT-4, and local models through Ollama. It can build small applications from a description, fix bugs, and carry out research tasks, showing its plan and its code as it goes.
Important status note: development has slowed considerably, with the most recent significant commits in late 2024 and a successor project now pointed to from its repository. Devika is free under the MIT licence, with no subscription and no hosted version. Treat it as an experiment and a learning project, not a production tool.
