Devika AI: Open Source Software Engineer

Devika AI is an open-source AI software engineer designed to understand high-level human instructions, break them down into actionable steps, research relevant information, and generate code for specific tasks. It integrates multiple language models (Claude 3, GPT-4, GPT-3.5) and local LLMs via Ollama to provide planning, reasoning, and code-generation capabilities. It is free to use and targets Windows and Linux environments.

What is Devika AI?

Devika AI acts as an intelligent coding assistant that can:

  • Understand high-level goals described by the user
  • Plan and decompose tasks into actionable steps
  • Research needed information from the web
  • Generate code snippets and full project components in multiple programming languages
  • Manage projects with a structured, multi-model backend

How Devika AI Works

  • User Interface: A web-based chat interface for interactive conversations.
  • Agent Core: The decision-making engine that handles planning, execution, and coordination between modules.
  • Large Language Models: Supports Claude 3, GPT-4, GPT-3.5, and local LLMs via Ollama for varied capabilities.
  • Planning and Reasoning Engine: Breaks goals into tasks, selects the best approach, and sequences actions.
  • Research Module: Web browsing to gather up-to-date information.
  • Code Writing Module: Generates code snippets and entire project components.
  • Browser Interaction Module: Can navigate and interact with web pages for data extraction.
  • Knowledge Base & Database: Stores past interactions, state, and project data for continuity.

Installation (Overview)

  1. Prerequisites:
  • Git, Python, and Ollama installed on your system
  1. Clone the Repository:
  1. Install Dependencies:
  • Navigate to the project directory and run: pip install -r requirements.txt
  1. Optional: Install Playwright dependencies if web automation is needed:
  • playwright install --with-deps
  1. Configure API Keys and Paths:
  • Rename sample.config.toml to config.toml and populate paths for: SQLITE_DB, SCREENSHOTS_DIR, PDFS_DIR, PROJECTS_DIR, LOGS_DIR, REPOS_DIR, WEB_SEARCH, BING, GOOGLE_SEARCH, GOOGLE_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID, CLAUDE, NETLIFY, OPENAI
  1. Run the Server:
  • python devika.py
  1. Start UI:
  • cd ui/
  • bun install
  • bun run dev
  1. Access the Web Interface:

Note: As an evolving project, some features may be unimplemented or unstable in early builds. Contributions are welcome.

How to Use Devika AI to Create a New Project

  1. Open the Devika Web Interface in your browser.
  2. Click "New Project" and provide a name for the project.
  3. Select Language and Model: choose the programming language and model configuration suitable for your task.
  4. Describe Objective: provide a high-level description of the task or goal.
  5. Initiate Task Processing: Devika analyzes the objective, breaks it into steps, and begins work.
  6. Monitor Progress: track actions, view generated code, and give feedback as needed.
  7. Review Generated Code: examine the produced code and project structure.
  8. Refine and Iterate: provide further instructions to refine the output.

Devika AI Discord Community: Join to share experiences and collaborate. Contributions are encouraged as the project is in active development.

Safety and Considerations
