GitLab launched the public beta of the GitLab Duo Agent Platform, an orchestration tool enabling developers to collaborate asynchronously with AI agents across the DevSecOps lifecycle. The platform is available to GitLab.com Premium and Ultimate customers as well as self-managed installations. It transforms traditional, linear development workflows into dynamic, multi-agent systems where AI handles routine tasks such as refactoring, security scanning, and research while developers focus on complex problem-solving. Duo Agent leverages GitLab as the centralized system of record, giving agents access to code, merge requests, CI/CD pipelines, test results, compliance checks, and project history for full organizational context. Agents can run in parallel with specialized roles and are accessible via embedded chat in VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, and GitLab's Web UI. Organizations can define custom agent rules in natural language, and the platform integrates with the Model Context Protocol to interoperate with external systems and services.
GitLab has launched the public beta of its GitLab Duo Agent Platform, an orchestration tool that enables developers to collaborate asynchronously with AI agents across the DevSecOps lifecycle. The platform, now available to GitLab.com Premium and Ultimate customers as well as self-managed installations, transforms traditional, linear development workflows into dynamic, multi-agent systems where AI handles routine tasks such as refactoring, security scanning, and research, while developers focus on complex problem-solving.
At its core, the Duo Agent Platform leverages GitLab's position as the centralized system of record, encompassing code, merge requests, CI/CD pipelines, test results, compliance checks, and project history, to provide AI agents with full organizational context. This allows agents to make informed, autonomous contributions aligned with development standards and workflows. The public beta rollout introduces several key features designed to enhance collaboration between developers and agents.
Agents can now operate in parallel, with different roles such as a Software Developer Agent, a Security Analyst Agent, or a Deep Research Agent, each performing specialized tasks under unified orchestration. Developers can interact with these agents through chat interfaces embedded directly in VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, and GitLab's Web UI, delegating tasks and receiving feedback in natural language with commands such as "/explain", "/tests", or "/include".
