On January 28, 2026, Cognizant announced a strategic partnership with Cognition. The goal is to deploy the autonomous AI engineer Devin into software development processes of large corporations. This is the official transition from "assistants" (Copilot) to "agents" capable of independently solving tasks from start to finish.
Cognizant will serve as the integrator, helping clients restructure processes for the agentic model. For the market, this is a signal: development automation is no longer a startup experiment but a new efficiency standard for the Fortune 500.
