GitLab Duo Agent Platform
- Tier: Premium, Ultimate
- Offering: GitLab.com, GitLab Self-Managed
The GitLab Duo Agent Platform is an AI-native solution that embeds multiple intelligent assistants (“agents”) throughout the software development lifecycle.
- Instead of following a linear workflow, collaborate asynchronously with AI agents.
- Delegate routine tasks, from code refactoring and security scans to research, to specialized AI agents.
To get started, see Get started with the GitLab Duo Agent Platform.
Prerequisites
To use the Agent Platform:
- Have GitLab Duo turned on.
- If you do not have GitLab Duo Pro or Enterprise, have GitLab Duo Core turned on for the top-level group or instance.
- Depending on your GitLab version:
- In GitLab 18.8 and later, have the Agent Platform turned on.
- In GitLab 18.7 and earlier, have beta and experimental features turned on.
- For GitLab Self-Managed, configure your instance.
- For GitLab Duo Self-Hosted, install the AI Gateway with the Agent Platform service.
To use the Agent Platform in your local environment:
- Install an editor extension and authenticate with GitLab.
- Have a project in a group namespace.
- Have the Developer, Maintainer, or Owner role.
