Have you ever wanted a real-time partner alongside you to help as you develop code, improve operations, and secure your software? GitLab Duo, available now, is a powerful set of AI capabilities within GitLab’s DevSecOps Platform that does just that – suggesting code, explaining vulnerabilities, forecasting value streams, and much more.
The name GitLab Duo is rooted in You + GitLab AI = the AI dynamic duo. GitLab Duo goes beyond just being an AI pair programmer: It is an expanding toolbox of features integrated into the DevSecOps Platform to help teams across the entire software development environment become more efficient. GitLab Duo is your go-to for planning refinement, security risk resolution, CI/CD pipeline health, and analytics charting.
GitLab Duo is a customer-centric approach focused on privacy first, where customers know their intellectual property is secured.
GitLab Duo capabilities
GitLab Duo includes:
- Code Suggestions helps developers create new code and update existing code, reducing cognitive load, improving efficiency, and allowing them to spend more time adding unique value to their applications.
- Explain this Code uses AI to examine code, both within a merge request and in the repository view, and provides a natural language explanation, helping to enable all teams to understand the code being merged.
- Explain this Vulnerability helps developers write more secure code by providing a natural language description of the vulnerability and the steps to resolve it.
- Generate detailed descriptions of epics, issues, and tasks helps ensure all teams are aligned and can achieve their common goals faster.
- Summarize Issue Comments helps get everyone up to speed quickly in epics, issues, and tasks.
- Chat enables users to ask configuration questions and receive natural language explanations, as well as links to GitLab Docs.
Throughout the year, all the GitLab Duo capabilities will become available via GitLab Duo Chat. As humans, we gravitate towards conversational chat, which is why we expect GitLab Duo Chat to become a de facto choice for how users interact with GitLab AI capabilities. We will be adding new capabilities to GitLab Duo, including assisting users with generating planning descriptions, using natural language for CI configuration and chart generation, refactoring vulnerabilities from code, suggesting a fix for failed tests, helping resolve CI/CD pipeline failures, summarizing vulnerability reports, and assisting with merge request reviews.
At GitLab, we believe everyone can contribute. By bringing GitLab Duo capabilities to every persona who uses GitLab, everyone can benefit from AI-powered workflows and organizations can ship secure software faster.
