With the GitLab Duo Agent Platform, GitLab introduces the next evolutionary step for DevSecOps. The platform brings intelligent, AI-powered agents into every stage of the software lifecycle – from planning and coding to testing, security, and deployment.
Traditional DevSecOps toolchains are struggling to keep up with growing project complexity and stricter security requirements. Too many manual steps, fragmented tools, and delayed security checks slow down development. The GitLab Duo Agent Platform aims to solve this – by delivering greater automation, faster processes, and security embedded from the very beginning.
The GitLab Duo Agent Platform is an open, extensible platform built on GitLab’s AI initiative GitLab Duo. Its goal is to bring intelligent agents into every phase of the software lifecycle – from planning and coding to testing, security, and deployment.
Within this ecosystem:
These agents can generate code, detect vulnerabilities, optimise pipeline configurations, and support developers in complex decision-making.
Traditional DevSecOps environments often consist of multiple disconnected tools linked together with APIs. This creates inefficiencies, redundant workflows, and slower feedback loops.
Security in particular is frequently treated as an afterthought: checks take place late in the process, making vulnerabilities more expensive and risky to fix. In today’s world of cloud-native architectures, zero trust, and a constantly evolving threat landscape, this model no longer works.
The GitLab Duo Agent Platform addresses this by embedding security, automation, and AI-powered intelligence right from the start of the development process.
The platform provides teams with tangible advantages:
Faster release cycles: AI accelerates delivery by automating repetitive tasks.
Stronger security: Vulnerabilities are flagged earlier in the process.
Higher productivity: Agents provide contextual suggestions and decision support.
Flexibility: Open interfaces allow companies and partners to build and integrate custom agents.
This makes DevSecOps not only more efficient, but also future-proof. A key differentiator in competitive markets.
Imagine a development team preparing to launch a new application. With traditional tools, code reviews, security checks, and deployment remain largely manual and time-consuming.
With the GitLab Duo Agent Platform, AI agents can perform automated reviews, flag vulnerabilities, propose tests, and even adjust pipeline configurations. The result: faster delivery, fewer risks, and more time for innovation – without compromising quality or compliance.
The GitLab Duo Agent Platform represents a milestone for Intelligent DevSecOps. By combining AI, automation, and security into one integrated approach, it empowers teams to develop software faster, more securely, and more productively.
