GitLab Duo Agent Platform
ActiveGitLab's agents and flows for planning, coding, security and CI/CD
GitLab Duo Agent Platform is the natural agent layer for teams already running GitLab: event-triggered flows and CI, security and review agents live where the code and pipelines are. The deciding caveat is cost and trust. Usage is metered in credits, the included allowance is promotional, and a critical CVSS 9.9 flaw hit self-hosted AI Gateways. Right for GitLab shops that patch fast; skip it if your code lives elsewhere.
GitLab's docs call it an AI-native solution: LLM-backed agents and flows run lifecycle work on GitLab events through the AI Gateway.
Is it right for you?
Good for
- Teams already on GitLab who want agents and flows triggered by GitLab activity such as mentions or assignments, without a separate vendor (the product page lists Premium and Ultimate; the docs also describe Free-tier features with purchased credits)
- Regulated Self-Managed shops that need self-hosted LLMs and policy-driven control with traceability of flow sessions
- CI/CD and security work through prebuilt flows (Fix CI/CD Pipeline, SAST Vulnerability Resolution, Secret False Positive Detection)
Not good for
- Self-hosted AI Gateway operators who cannot patch quickly (CVE-2026-90970, CVSS 9.9, fixed in 19.2.4, 19.3.2 and 19.4.1)
- Budget forecasting beyond the promotional credit allowance (the pricing page says included credits are for a limited time and cost per request varies by model)
- Teams whose repositories live outside GitLab (the platform sits inside GitLab plans; no standalone offering appeared on the pages we read)
