Cognition said its Devin coding agent completed a four-week experiment in which it operated a tiny referral business, made 10,929 restaurant calls and produced one $75 sale. The result is a notable demonstration of real-world agency, but not of profitability: the run cost roughly $3,000 and exposed familiar weaknesses in planning, prompt control and human oversight.
