Detailed overview
GitLab Duo Agent Platform embeds AI agents and automated 'flows' across the GitLab platform to assist with code suggestions, issue planning, security analysis, and merge request workflows. It uses GitLab Orbit, a lifecycle context graph connecting code, pipelines, and deployments, to ground agents in real project context. An AI Catalog lets teams discover, customize, and manage agents and flows, while policy-driven governance controls which agents, flows, and models can be used. Self-hosted model support is available for GitLab Self-Managed deployments. Works within VS Code, JetBrains, and GitLab itself. Best suited for teams already using GitLab who want AI assistance integrated into their existing development and security pipeline.
Pricing details
Included in eligible GitLab Premium and Ultimate plans; agentic Duo Agent Platform features are billed via usage-based GitLab Credits pooled across the organization rather than per seat.
