Mercedes-Benz, one of the world's most iconic automotive and technology companies, has partnered with Cognition to deploy Devin and Windsurf across its global engineering teams. The rollout spans engineering teams across continents, from the United States to Europe and Asia, and represents one of the most extensive deployments of AI software engineering in the automotive industry.
Mercedes-Benz's engineering organization builds and maintains the software powering everything from R&D to logistics, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise operations. Their teams need to simultaneously ensure reliability, stability, and security while integrating new tools and moving with speed.
In an initial four-week pilot, both Devin and Windsurf demonstrated significant productivity gains. For example, Devin analyzed over 200,000 lines of COBOL code and cut modernization time down from an estimated eight months to eight days.
Now, Mercedes-Benz is doubling down on its strategic partnership with Cognition by deploying the full product suite in R&D and IT: Windsurf as a development environment for teams building cloud-native applications, microservices, and modern web and mobile solutions; Devin as the autonomous, cloud-based agent for asynchronous engineering workflows; and Devin for Terminal to handle the most complex and demanding engineering tasks.
Mercedes-Benz engineers are using the full Cognition product suite: Devin as the autonomous, cloud-based agent for async work, Windsurf as the agentic IDE for local, creative development, and Devin for Terminal for the most challenging engineering tasks.
We're excited to continue working closely with Mercedes-Benz to accelerate software engineering across the company's global teams. Organizations interested in deploying Devin and Windsurf at scale can contact Cognition's enterprise team to learn more.
