"GitLab Duo Agent Platform helps teams coordinate agents across every phase of the development process, from planning and building to securing and shipping. The platform addresses the AI paradox by extending AI-driven productivity beyond coding to the entire workflow, reducing bottlenecks such as a growing code review backlogs, security vulnerabilities, compliance checks, and downstream bug fixes. The platform brings together agentic chat, task-specific agents, workflow automation, and enterprise-grade controls, enabling organizations to deploy and manage AI across the entire development lifecycle."
"The platform provides a central AI Catalog where teams can discover, manage, and share agents and flows across their organization. Built-in foundational agents like Planner, Security Analyst, and Data Analyst handle structured work at key decision points, while customizable flows automate multi-step agents and tasks in development workflows from issue to merge request, CI/CD migration, pipeline troubleshooting, and code reviews."
"Developers can use the Planner agent to create, update, and analyze GitLab work items, such as backlog analysis, prioritization with frameworks like RICE or MoSCoW, and surface what requires direct intervention. The Security Analyst Agent lets engineers manage vulnerabilities using natural language in GitLab Duo Agentic Chat, allowing them to triage, assess, and guide remediation directly through chat instead of dashboards or custom scripts. Using vulnerability management policies, security teams can automatically dismiss vulnerabilities that don't apply."
GitLab 18.8 adds the GitLab Duo Planner Agent, GitLab Duo Security Analyst Agent, automatic dismissal of irrelevant vulnerabilities, and other features. The GitLab Duo Agent Platform is now generally available and orchestrates AI agents across the full development lifecycle, from planning and building to securing and shipping. Agentic chat, task-specific agents, workflow automation, and enterprise-grade controls enable deployment and management of AI across workflows. A central AI Catalog allows teams to discover, manage, and share agents and flows. Built-in agents like Planner, Security Analyst, and Data Analyst handle structured work, while customizable flows automate multi-step tasks from issue to merge request and CI/CD troubleshooting.
