Hippo Deploys Devin, Cognition's AI Software Engineer, to Drive Faster Software Development Across the Insurance Lifecycle
From Rate Filings to Partner Integrations, Devin Supports Hippo's Engineering Work across Distribution, Risk Management, and Customer Experience
SAN JOSE, Calif., June 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hippo Holdings Inc. (NYSE:HIPO), a technology-native insurance group, today announced the engineering-wide deployment of Devin, Cognition's AI software engineer, to drive faster software development across the insurance lifecycle. From rate filings and underwriting to distribution and customer experience, Hippo's adoption of Devin enables its engineering team to move faster on the work that matters most — supporting faster, more reliable software delivery across distribution, risk management and customer experience.
Devin is designed to take on multi-step development tasks — planning, writing, and testing code across complex systems — working alongside Hippo's engineers. For Hippo's engineers, that capability translates directly to one of insurance's most persistent challenges: rapidly building software that works correctly across fifty states, each with its own regulatory requirements.
"Building software that works correctly in fifty states, each regulated differently, is complex and time intensive. With Devin, we can automate through that complexity instead of around it," said Kyle Ramsay, Hippo's Chief Product and Artificial Intelligence Officer. "Devin gives our engineers more time to focus on the innovative engineering work behind our products, data, operations, and risk management."
Built for Complexity, Designed for Customers
In an industry where speed and precision both matter, Devin gives Hippo's engineers the ability to build, test, and iterate quickly without multiplying manual effort, focusing their effort on higher-value engineering work. Hippo's engineering team is now accelerating delivery across the full range of its operations — from Hannah, its AI-powered service representative, to program data ingestion for partner MGAs, to key distribution initiatives.
Devin, developed by Cognition, is an AI software engineer capable of handling complex, multi-step engineering tasks, from writing and testing code to navigating large codebases and resolving edge cases. For Hippo, the technology is particularly well-suited to the kind of high-volume, high-precision work that insurance software demands, complex enough to require genuine engineering judgment, but repeatable enough to benefit from automation at scale.
"Hippo is doing some of the highest stakes work there is, in one of the most complex and regulated industries out there," said Jeff Wang, Cognition's President of New Enterprise. "We built Devin to run secure, autonomous cloud agents that take on trusted, high-leverage engineering work in critical industries, so partnering with Hippo to modernize insurance was a natural fit. We're proud to help raise the bar on what a modern insurer can build."
