Devin is an autonomous AI engineer who acts like a trusted kitchen manager, handling the backlog, repetitive prep work and tasks that slow teams down, so human developers can focus on the highest-value engineering "dishes." Instead of just making individuals faster, Devin adds true parallel capacity by taking on delegated work from end to end. It understands codebases, completes tasks independently, and returns finished outputs, such as pull requests. In short, Devin is a new kind of teammate who helps organizations move faster and clear the work they've never had time to tackle.

Legacy code modernization is now a strategic imperative, driven by technical debt and innovation demands. Devin, an autonomous AI, revolutionizes this process by compressing timelines, enhancing quality and freeing engineers for innovation. Enterprises must embrace AI-orchestrated modernization to stay competitive, transforming challenges into opportunities for growth and resilience.

In Part 2, we shift from strategy to execution. We open the hood on Devin, the autonomous AI software engineer, and walk through its enterprise-ready workflow—from high-fidelity codebase analysis to automated refactoring, test creation, documentation and CI/CD orchestration—revealing how each step improves modernization predictability, auditability and operational scale for large organizations.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) adoption is no longer optional; it is foundational to your success. But without the right visibility and support, even the best tools can fail to deliver value. Digital Employee Experience (DEX) platforms bridge the gap between technology and employee experience, helping enterprises track, optimize and scale AI usage responsibly.

AI is reshaping Digital Employee Experience (DEX), and leading platforms like Nexthink, Omnissa, Lakeside and Aternity are at the forefront. While AI tools such as chatbots and virtual assistants offer instant support and automated remediation, these DEX providers go further by embedding AI into endpoint analytics, sentiment tracking and self-healing workflows. Together, these organizations are redefining how enterprises deliver intelligent, efficient and employee-centric IT experiences.

As the lines between collaboration, customer support and intelligent automation continue to blur, WebexOne 2025 delivered a clear message: Cisco is embracing an open ecosystem and leveraging AI to elevate both employee and customer experiences.
