What tasks can Cosine complete end-to-end?
Cosine autonomously completes end-to-end engineering tasks — from bug fixes and feature builds to refactoring, tests, and documentation — delivering ready-to-review pull requests.
Cosine can autonomously complete a wide range of engineering tasks — from fixing bugs and writing tests to building new features, refactoring code, and generating documentation. Each task is handled through Cosine’s autonomous agent loop: understand, plan, write, validate, and deliver a pull request.
Common task categories
Bug fixes
Cosine identifies, reproduces, and resolves bugs across repositories. It can patch small issues automatically or propose solutions for complex bugs requiring review.
Feature development
Cosine implements new functionality based on specifications or Jira tickets. It retrieves relevant context, writes code, updates dependencies, and ensures the feature integrates cleanly with the existing system.
Refactoring & migrations
Cosine performs refactors (e.g., upgrading APIs or moving from one framework to another) and automates dependency updates. It handles repetitive, large-scale changes across repos while maintaining code quality.
Test generation
Cosine writes and runs unit, integration, and regression tests. Its reinforcement-trained model understands test design patterns and avoids bias from its own implementation.
Documentation (AutoDoc)
Cosine’s AutoDoc feature generates or updates documentation for your codebase — helping teams maintain clarity even as projects evolve.
CI/CD integration
Cosine can work within your CI/CD pipeline, triggering builds and validations before creating a PR. It integrates with tools like CircleCI, GitHub Actions, and Jenkins to ensure every change passes required checks.
What makes these tasks autonomous
Each task goes through Cosine’s full reasoning loop:
Context retrieval → 2. Plan generation → 3. Code writing and modification → 4. Validation and tests → 5. PR submission.
This means you can assign dozens of tasks simultaneously, and Cosine will progress on them in parallel — no need for supervision.
Real-world examples
A large enterprise used Cosine to handle backlog cleanup, closing hundreds of minor issues in under an hour.
Another team used Cosine for a cloud migration project, completing dependency upgrades and config changes in two weeks instead of a month.
Cosine’s own engineering team has merged 1,700+ PRs since June, including bug fixes, tests, and new features.
