Devika Tutorial: Open-Source Autonomous AI Software Engineer

Learn how to deploy and operate stitionai/devika — a multi-agent autonomous coding system that plans, researches, writes, and debugs code end-to-end.

Why This Track Matters

Devika represents one of the most complete open-source implementations of an autonomous software engineering agent, combining multi-agent coordination, live web research, browser automation, and polyglot code generation in a single self-hosted stack. As teams evaluate autonomous coding systems for internal use, understanding how Devika's agent pipeline is structured, how it coordinates specialized roles, and how to govern it safely becomes a critical engineering competency. This track takes you from first install to production-grade team deployment, covering every architectural layer in depth.

This track focuses on:

  • deploying and configuring Devika with any major LLM provider including Claude 3, GPT-4, Gemini, Mistral, Groq, and Ollama
  • understanding the multi-agent pipeline: planner, researcher, coder, action, and internal monologue agents
  • operating browser automation and web research capabilities safely and effectively
  • governing autonomous code generation at team scale with cost controls and audit discipline
